(July 31, 2015) -- Enjoy a free, family-friendly and enlightening walk through the wetlands (in areas not usually open to the public) on Saturday, Aug. 1. The Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust's monthly bird/nature walk will be a "Turtle Trek" (led by naturalists from Tidal Influence) that begins at 8:00 a.m. [sharp, don't be late] in the driveway near 1st St. and PCH (map below...and you may park in the driveway.)
LCWLT says on its website:
Our walk begins with a brief orientation to our wetlands. We will walk along 2nd street to the bridge and look for sea turtles. For part of our tour we will view and discuss the Zedler marsh eco-system while keeping an eye out for local wildlife. Part of our walk will take us through the Signal Hill Petroleum oil operations where we will talk about the history of oil operations and their impact on the wetlands. We will wrap up our walk by hiking along Calloway marsh, taking the PCH bridge over to the western levee and walking past newly acquired city owned wetlands past the Pumpkin Patch, land swap property and campground marsh.We will complete our walk by heading back along the access to the parking. Bring binoculars, if you have them; we will observe many different kinds of interesting wildlife.
