| Join us on Saturday, July 5 or August 2 to learn about the upcoming restoration of Southern Los Cerritos Wetlands and the important raptor habitat. These special tours will be led by knowledgeable ecologists who helped design the Southern Los Cerritos Wetlands restoration project, which is expected to break ground in Fall 2025. Our curated Raptor Ramble tours are the public’s final opportunity to view this land before the restoration begins. Tour attendees will learn about plans for hydrological connections, earth moving, public access, and large-scale plantings of native habitats while observing the current condition of the land. In addition to learning about the restoration design details, participants will look for raptors (birds of prey) and other charismatic species that forage and nest in the area. Participants will likely see rare bird species that will benefit from the improved habitat. The final portion of the tour will spend time along the Heron Pointe Cultural Trail, where attendees will learn about the native people who lived on the land, how they utilized its resources, and how the Tribal Advisory Group and local Native American tribal members contributed to the restoration’s final design. Our walk leaders possess extensive knowledge about the restoration project, site history, and local wildlife. Bring binoculars if you have them; we will observe many fascinating species. Don’t miss this opportunity to access this land before the restoration project begins! To learn more or to sign up for one or more of the upcoming nature walks, use this link. |
