SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Trespassing In Box Canyon The Center for Natural Lands Management (CNLM), a non-profit organization that manages land for conservation purposes, owns and manages the open space at Box Canyon (located north of Sea Point Communities in Carlsbad California). Box Canyon is part of the Rancho La Costa Habitat Conservation Area that is protected in perpetuity for conservation purposes. Box Canyon is off limits to the public and any public activities in Box Canyon are considered illegal. Anyone caught in Box Canyon can and/or will be cited/arrested for trespassing. The public is not allowed at the Box Canyon open space because: It is a very dangerous place. The slopes next to the water in the canyon are steep and dangerous. Several people have died in Box Canyon over the past decade. It is an environmentally fragile area with endangered species. Even hiking can cause erosion, soil compaction, damage to endangered plant species, and negative impacts on the endangered animal species.
Please help us to keep the public safe and protect this area by reporting any trespassers in Box Canyon to us. CNLM is working with the City of Carlsbad Police Department to curtail prohibited access in Box Canyon. If you see any trespassers in the Canyon, please first call a CNLM staff person (760-784-0672 or 760-594-4771) and then call the City of Carlsbad Police Department (760-931-2197). We will respond to all calls as soon as possible. If you would like to read more about this conservation area, please visit our website description of the ‘Rancho La Costa' Preserve.
