About the Preserves

The HMP Preserve System  is made up of  smaller individual preserves that are managed mostly by the City of Carlsbad, Center for Natural Lands Management, California Department of Fish and Game, and a variety of Home Owner's Associations (HOAs). Other properties are managed by the University of California Natural Reserve System and San Diego Habitat Conservancy. The names of individual preserves appear when your mouse hovers over a given colored area of the preserve system map below (HOA areas are not included). Click on these areas to find out more information about each preserve.  The different colors on the map refer to different landowners. A color key is given in the map legend at the bottom of the page.
