It is the first elevated land mass to meet the cool air of the Pacific as it is drawn to the hot regions of the inland deserts. Las Brisas overlooks the Santa Rosa Ecological Preserve and is a connecting gateway for wildlife when they migrate to the Cleveland National Forest. There are many species of animals that cross our land each year.
Visitors often see deer, rabbits, ground squirrels, and a large variety of birds.
Once in a while you can see a bobcat walking slowly down a road or hear the distant howl of coyotes calling to each other in the evening. Las Brisas owners are committed to a vision of ecological preservation and balance. It is our intention to provide business people a place of education that encompasses the beauty of nature and the value of its preservation. The facilities and our programs are designed to create a pattern interrupter for the people that visit here. In many instances, people go to a seminar and then back to their hotel rooms without really getting to know fellow participants, or the speakers they listened to.
