The group's website (www.lcwlt.org) says it's a "relaxing and informative bird and nature walk...On this casual walk, we hope to see the usual resident birds. At a distance, along the bike path, one can see some of the 66 acres purchased by the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority (LCWA) in 2006. Closer to the park (just on the other side of the fence) is property that the LCWA hopes to purchase and restore."

Directions: from Long Beach, take PCH south to Mar Vista; left on Mar Vista; left on Coastline; right on Catalina; left on Avalon. Avalon dead ends into the park.
