HOELLE LAB

Welcome to Cultivating Communities! This site is for students and community members to learn more about the fascinating environment that we now know as UCSB and Isla Vista. By learning more about this place, its fascinating history and possibilities for engaging with nature, we hope to facilitate deeper forms of engagement with the environment. Check out the visual timeline below of UCSB from 1928 to 2015 to begin your journey into understanding our very own cultural landscape. This site is the product of UCSB students working with Anthropology and Environmental Studies Professor Jeffrey Hoelle.
