Walkers on the fairly slow, roughly two mile hike (dubbed a "Turtle Trek") will see wildlife (including hoped-for Sea Turtles along the San Gabriel River) as they learn learn about the wetlands' ecosystems, history and current restoration activities. The walk includes a stop at the Zedler Marsh which includes a nursery for wetlands plants as part of the restoration process.

"Bring binoculars if you have them; besides the turtles, we will observe many different kinds of interesting wildlife," says LCWLT Exec. Director Elizabeth Lambe.

Events are family friendly, but strollers aren't permitted, and all participants need to be able to walk a couple of miles (slowly) without having to turn back.
