(November 30, 2018) -- The Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust says cooling temperatures mean the wetlands will be at their best for its free and fun Saturday morning nature walk -- Dec. 1 at 8 a.m. (don't be late; gate closes at 8:10 a.m.) -- to check out the Marketplace Marsh within Los Cerritos Wetlands.

As of midmorning Friday (Nov. 30), the National Weather Service predicts a 20% chance of rain after 10 a.m...and good fortune: the nature walk runs no longer than 10:00 a.m. [Further NWS forecast: "Mostly sunny, with a high near 66. Light west northwest wind becoming west 10 to 15 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph."]

LCWLT says close-toed shoes are required. Also, good treads on shoes are best after rains. And kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

LCWLT says its walk begins with a brief orientation to the wetlands with discussion of the history and ownership of various parcels within Los Cerritos Wetlands.

"We will then walk towards the levee and discuss the reintroduction of the tides. After that, using oil roads, we will walk to the old bridge on the levee and discuss the San Gabriel River and the future of bringing water back into the land. Then we will view the City-owned lands, including Marketplace Marsh. After that, we will head back to our meeting place. Bring binoculars, if you have them; we will observe many different kinds of interesting wildlife."

Where: Meet in the driveway/parking area at the corner of 1st Street and PCH in Seal Beach. There will be signs. You may park in the driveway.

When: The event starts at 8:00 a.m. and the parking lot gate closes at 8:10 a.m.
