What is Sage Hill?

Sage Hill is 3.4 acres of native, untouched California habitat that exists at the University of California, Los Angeles. Recognizing the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar, Sage Hill has become the home to a high diversity of flora and fauna species including 50 native higher plant species, 7 native mammal species, 17 butterflies species, and almost 30 resident and migratory bird species. It is also a unique sanctuary, research and classroom space for students, researchers, and faculty willing to take the time to explore the ins and outs of a land that is unlike any other around West Los Angeles. The work done in Sage Hill varies from developing a non native vegetation plan to support habitat restoration to restoring biodiversity and awareness. The current efforts to bring the UCLA community to Sage Hill and help them discover the beauty and history of the area have been the main focus of Sol of Sage.
