Walk the Los Cerritos Wetlands With Us- Saturday, October 2

Join us to trek for Sea Turtles in the San Gabrial River on Saturday, October 2nd. It’s a lot of fun! Not only will you observe sea turtles but also interesting wildlife like egrets and perhaps a great blue heron or two.

Environmental educators from, Tidal Influence, will lead you on a wonderful walk along the levy of the San Gabriel River, which bisects Los Cerritos Wetlands. Attendees will be led on a tour of Los Cerritos Wetlands that will take us to the spot along the San Gabriel River where the sea turtles love to hang out.

For part of our tour, we will view and discuss the Zedler marsh ecosystem while keeping an eye out for local wildlife. Much of our walk will take us through the Signal Hill Petroleum oil operations, where walk attendees will learn about the history of oil extraction and its impact on the wetlands.

We will stroll past Calloway marsh, take the PCH bridge over to the western levee, and walk past both privately and publicly owned wetlands on our way back to our meeting spot.

WHAT: Turtle Trek at Los Cerritos Wetlands.

WHEN: Saturday, October 2nd, 2021, at 8:00 am sharp! The parking lot gate will open at 7:45 am and close at 8:10 am. No latecomers can be admitted for the tour, and all participants must stay for the entire tour, which will end by 10:00 am. Kids are welcome, but they must be closely supervised and able to walk for 2 hours without needing to turn back. Closed-toe shoes are required!

WHERE: Meet in the driveway/parking area at the corner of 1st Street and PCH in Seal Beach. Please wear close-toed shoes, and kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

P.S. Also on October 2nd, from 10:30 AM-12:30 PM, is the Aquarium of the Pacific-sponsored, community-based restoration event. Our wetlands are on their way to being restored and made more attractive. That’s because of all the hard-working folks who have volunteered their time to remove invasive plants and other weeds and plant in their place new, “habitat friendly” native plants. It’s fun; it’s fulfilling and it requires no special skills or experience–just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. Your contribution of time and effort is vital to the success of the restoration and would be greatly appreciated!

Plant a wetlands plant with us on Saturday, October 2nd. It’s a lot of fun!

Our wetlands are on their way to being restored and made more attractive. Thanks to all the hard-working folks who have volunteered their time, tons of trash has been removed from Los Cerritos Wetlands. Invasive plants and other weeds have also been removed, and new, “habitat friendly” plants are replacing them. It’s fun, it’s fulfilling, and it requires no special skills or experience–just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. If you have either of those qualities, then we hope you will join us on Saturday, October 2nd for a habitat restoration volunteer day at Los Cerritos Wetlands. Your contribution of time and effort is vital to the success of the restoration and is greatly appreciated!

What: Volunteer Habitat Restoration of Los Cerritos Wetlands.
When: Saturday, October 2nd, 10:30 am-12:30 pm, (directly after our nature walk.)
Why: To help grow native salt marsh plants and help remove a persistent nonnative plant called Black Mustard or Brasica nigra that dominates and damages wetlands habitat.
Where: Meet at the corner of 1st Street and PCH in Seal Beach.

To volunteer, close-toed shoes are required, and please bring sunscreen and water. Participants are eligible to win prizes such as a T-shirt or tickets to the Aquarium of the Pacific.

Support LCWLT through Long Beach Gives

Thanks to the vision and the tenacity we have accomplished amazing things. Since our founding, now over half of Los Cerritos Wetlands is in the public trust, we have beaten back some really bad and damaging development proposals and provide unique, on-the-ground educational experiences, for local school children, especially those who reside in the most urban parts of Long Beach, where natural open space is at a premium.

We have so much to celebrate locally when it comes to protecting and restoring our local wetlands habitat. I am especially looking forward to the transfer of more of Los Cerritos Wetlands into the public trust and that plans to restore the wetlands are moving forward.

I am proud that even with the world locked down for much of 2021 we provided educational virtual wetlands field trip for kids who were attending school virtually. Even though we are still unable to lead on-the-ground field trips for students (yet) our community nature walks are back and we encourage you to join us at the next one, which will be on Saturday, October 2nd.

Of course, defending undeveloped, and therefore rare, coastal open space from those who wish to exploit our local wetlands requires community support, and we are so appreciative of all of who have joined our fight to protect Los Cerritos Wetlands.

The Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust is participating in Long Beach Gives, a one-day giving cycle for Long Beach non-profits. On September 23, 2021, we will raise funds for the protection and preservation of Los Cerritos Wetlands via Long Beach Gives. Our organizational fundraising goal is $10,000. Supporting the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust helps to ensure the protection, preservation, and restoration of our unique and vital local wetlands habitat. Additionally, with help from supporters such as you, we will continue to educate students in Long Beach and Orange County public schools about wetlands, and provide them with tours and lessons in order to foster a connection to nature and each other and help bring classroom concepts to life.

Your donation, large or small, will make a difference and help move the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust closer to our fundraising goal.

Please don’t wait. Donate now.

Please follow the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust on Facebook and Instagram, visit our website, and forward this email to your friends and family to get the word out. We appreciate your support!

Our next nature walk is Saturday, October 2nd.
We will be trekking for sea turtles in the

Take Action. Take a Walk.

Putting a price on carbon is a fast and effective way to bring down greenhouse emissions quickly AND benefit the economy. Click TAKE ACTION!

Did you know that a strong, economy-wide price on carbon could reduce America’s carbon pollution by 50% by 2030, putting us on track to reach net-zero by 2050? HR 2307 is the legislation that can make that happen.

When long-time Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust activist Tom Hazelleaf came to talk to us about the Citizen’s Climate Lobby and their simple proposal to put a tax on carbon production to save the planet, we were inspired by the simplicity of the idea. Talking with Tom I learned that:

A strong, economy-wide price on carbon could reduce America’s carbon pollution by 50% by 2030, putting us on track to reach net-zero by 2050.

A carbon tax fast tracks the pathway to affordable clean energy because when the government puts a price on carbon, it sends a signal through the economy.

A carbon tax is affordable for ordinary Americans because the money collected from fossil fuel companies is given as a dividend, or “carbon cashback” to every American. It is estimated that 95% of low and middle-income earners will break even or save money while protecting our planet.

A carbon price will save 4.5 million American lives over the next 50 years by restoring clean air in communities across the country, something we sure could use in Long Beach.

Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust supports HR 2307, the Energy Innovation AND Carbon Dividend Act and we hope you will too. Please ask your representative to put a price on carbon into the budget reconciliation package. It takes 10 minutes (or less) to email and call.

If your Congressman is Alan Lowenthal, in your message please thank him for supporting HR 2307. Another cool thing about Congressman Alan Lowenthal is that he is a member of the bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus which includes 23 Republicans and 41 Democrats.

It will help the Citizens Climate Lobby more successfully advocate for this legislation if you can submit your comments by August 31st, so don’t delay!

I hope you take the time to submit your comment…It’s a simple, fast, and easy way to help protect the planet and our local wetlands, which are under the threat of sea-level rise (and more) due to climate change.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Lambe
Executive Director

Our next nature walk will be the Raptor Ramble on the Hellman property at Los Cerritos Wetlands.

Why not kick off the beginning of the fall season with a guided nature walk at Los Cerritos Wetlands? I hope you will join us and our partners, biologists, and environmental educators from the environmental consulting firm Tidal Influence, on a wonderful nature walk at Los Cerritos Wetlands on Saturday, September 4th. I urge you to get outside and enjoy some of our natural open space.

We will be following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines (CDC) for our outdoor nature walk, which means vaccinated people can attend mask-free. However, as the CDC recommends, face coverings and physical distancing for unvaccinated attendees are required. Of course, anyone can wear a mask if they prefer.

Per the CDC. . .people are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at two or more weeks after they have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or two or more weeks after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson [J&J]/Janssen). If you feel sick and/or exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home, and we hope to see you another time.

Our nature walk will begin with a brief orientation to our wetlands. We will stroll through heritage coastal sage scrub and historic dredge spoils while looking for raptors(birds of prey) and a number of other species that nest in the area. As we pass the salt flats, we may see tiger beetles and coyote tracks before hiking up to the Heron Pointe Cultural trail to discuss how tidal circulation shapes our local wetlands.

We will complete our walk by heading back to the access parking area. Bring binoculars, if you have them; we will observe many different kinds of interesting wildlife.

WHAT: Raptor Ramble on the Hellman Portion of Los Cerritos Wetlands.

WHEN: Saturday, September 4th, at 8:00 am sharp! The parking lot gate will open at 7:45 AM and close at 8:10 AM. No latecomers can be admitted for the tour, and all participants must stay for the entire tour, which will end by 10:00 AM.

Nature Walks Are Back-Join Us!

After a year and a half hiatus, I am delighted to announce that we are resuming nature walks out at Los Cerritos Wetlands. I can’t tell you how happy I am to be able to once again share this important and unique landscape with you. To restart out nature walks is just another small step towards normalcy and I, for one, am grateful.

We are able to invite you to walk among the wetlands because COVID-19 levels are lowering and vaccine rates are increasing. Three cheers for that good news! For the walk, we will be following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines (CDC), which means vaccinated people can attend mask-free. However, the CDC recommends face coverings and physical distancing for unvaccinated attendees. Of course, anyone can wear a mask if they prefer.

Per the CDC. . .people are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at two or more weeks after they have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or two or more weeks after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson [J&J]/Janssen). If you feel sick and/or exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home, and we hope to see you another time.

Our 2-hour guided nature walk begins at 8:00 AM and wraps up by 10:00 AM. We will look for wildlife sightings, learn about the rich ecosystems, reflect on the history of our local wetlands, and observe current restoration activities.

Our walk begins with a brief orientation to Los Cerritos Wetlands. We will discuss their history and see an important portion of them, including the Pumpkin Patch property, as we walk along the San Gabriel River and across Westminster Blvd. to view the sea turtles. On our return, we will stop at Zedler Marsh, where there is a nursery for wetlands plants and where restoration is progressing. We will then walk on the levee back to our meeting place. Bring binoculars, if you have them; besides the turtles, we will observe many different kinds of interesting wildlife.

Join us out in the Wetlands this Saturday!

We are happy to share with you that you are invited out to enjoy Los Cerritos Wetlands for the first time in over a year. That’s because COVID-19 levels in Los Angeles and Orange County are lowering and vaccine rates are increasing. We will be following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines (CDC) for this outdoor event which means vaccinated people can attend mask-free. However, the CDC recommends face coverings and physical distancing for unvaccinated attendees. (People are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at two or more weeks after they have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or two or more weeks after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson & Johnson). If you feel sick and/or exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home and we hope to see you out in the wetlands another time). Of course, anyone can wear a mask if they prefer.

We’ve decided to take it slowly since it has been a year since the public has been allowed out at Los Cerritos Wetlands, so we are kicking off reopening Los Cerritos Wetlands with an “Open Trails Day” at Zedler Marsh. What does that mean? It means the public is invited to bike or walk out to Zedler Marsh, where they can enter the property from the San Gabriel River bike path.

Parking will be challenging but biking out there will not, so we urge you to take your bike for a spin on the San Gabriel River bike path south of Second Street to where you will see a gate open to welcome you to Zedler Marsh.

If you prefer not to bike to the open trails event, there will be parking available at noon in the driveway entrance area at the corner of 1st and Pacific Coast Highway in Seal Beach. Those who arrive at noon will be guided as to where to park and be led out to Zedler Marsh. There they will be offered a guided tour of the marsh that will start at 12:30 PM.

There is a lot to see out at Zedler Marsh; lovely trails lined with important California native plants, a wonderful view of the on-the-way-to-being-restored Zedler Marsh itself, and my favorite thing, a fascinating native plant nursery where most of the plants being used to restore Los Cerritos Wetlands are grown. So we hope you will join us.

Please email me to rsvp and with any questions you may have.

Looking forward to seeing you out at Zedler Marsh on June 5th and stay tuned for other events at Los Cerritos Wetlands as we once again safely open up the wetlands to the public while adhering to national, state, and local guidelines.

Earth Day is Coming Soon- Join Us for a Special Evening- RSVP Now

Earth Day is coming up fast and I want to share with you that the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust will be hosting a really fun Earth Day event featuring our colleague, restoration ecologist Eric Zahn. We’ve worked with Eric for years and appreciate all he has done, not only to restore Los Cerritos Wetlands but also the Colorado Lagoon.

Eric Zahn, Principal Restoration Ecologist at Tidal Influence, was a key figure in moving forward the restoration planning process for Los Cerritos Wetlands, which resulted in the certification of the Environmental Impact Report for the area. At our special Earth Day event, Eric will share the details of that wetlands restoration process, what the next steps are, and how the public can help.

Eric has a really fabulous presentation about the past, present, and future of Los Cerritos Wetlands. I know because I have seen it. Eric is a great speaker, has some really interesting slides to share, and does a great job of mapping out where we are with the restoration of Los Cerritos Wetlands and where we are headed. I encourage you to join us.

What: Earth Day evening Celebrating Los Cerritos Wetlands and honoring its past, present, and future

When: Thursday, April 22nd at 7:00 PM (which is Earth Day!) via Zoom.

Why: To celebrate Earth Day and all that we are doing to protect our local wetlands

Who: Hear from restoration biologist Eric Zahn, of Tidal Influence, about the past, present, and future of Los Cerritos Wetlands

Special Conference- Extinction: Solutions for Species on the Brink

I have a unique invitation to share with you. It is to a conference hosted by the Newkirk Center for Science and Society at the University of California at Irvine, and you are invited to attend, free of charge. The Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust will be participating in the conference, Extinction: Solutions for Species on the Brink, with our colleagues from Tidal Influence. We will be talking about the increased number of Belding’s Savannah Sparrows at Los Cerritos Wetlands, thanks to conservation efforts and improving their habitat. There are just a few thousand pairs of these little birds left in the world, so helping to improve their numbers is critical. Why are there so few Belding’s? Well, it turns out they like living in the same habitat that we do, close to the beach and only in temperate areas. Much of the Belding’s habitat has been lost forever to development and infrastructure here in Southern California. That’s why it’s so important to protect what remains, which is in open spaces like Los Cerritos Wetlands, Bolsa Chica Wetlands, and Banning Ranch.

The conference sounds really interesting. I’ll be attending and hope youwill too. Details and how to register are below.

Extinction: Solutions for Species on the Brink

P.S. If you don’t already, I urge you to follow us on our Facebook page! Not only do we hope that more and more people will know about, love, and understand the value of our wetlands, our growth also shows decision-makers that Los Cerritos Wetlands matter to the community. By following us on Facebook you will be the first to know when we re-start our monthly wetlands nature walks (or be able to participate in community-based wetlands habitat restoration).

Thank You and Happy Holidays!

Dear Friend of Los Cerritos Wetlands,

We thank you for your support and ask that you continue to support the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust. Why support the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust this holiday season?

We are vigilant in our defense of local coastal wetlands. The Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust is the leading organization working on the ground every day to protect this vulnerable plot of urban nature, a remnant of a once-vast ecosystem.

Slowly and surely, our wetlands are being brought back to life. We are proudly participating in an ambitious habitat restoration program to create and rehabilitate invaluable acreage of tidal salt marsh.

We are committed to restarting our nature walks in 2021. . . and keeping them accessible to all. Over the years, thanks to our free monthly nature walks, thousands of people have experienced and learned about our local wetlands. With COVID-19 hopefully soon behind us, we look forward to restarting our nature walks as soon as they are allowed, and it is safe.

We help future generations develop an appreciation for the natural world. Using Los Cerritos Wetlands as an outdoor classroom, we have helped a generation of kids feel connected to nature through our school-age ecological education programs. Due to COVID 19, we have moved those programs online. While it’s not the same as an on-the-ground field trip experience, we are proud we are able to continue to provide important education about the value of wetlands.

We simply couldn’t do it without you!
The success of our mission to explore, restore, and defend our local wetlands is owed in huge part to members and supporters like you. We’re so grateful for the partnership of our members for allowing us to persevere.

You can help us move forward into 2021 by renewing your membership or becoming a member today. Your tax-deductible gift, at whichever level is comfortable for you, makes a huge difference in our ability to run successful advocacy, outreach, and education programs.

We hope that you will celebrate the wetlands with us this year, and choose to support the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust. Please join us in our commitment to explore, restore, and defend our local wetlands today!

Wishing you a happy and safe holiday season,

Elizabeth Lambe,
Executive Director
and all of us at the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust
