| We are so happy to host an informative and interesting in-person meeting (held outside to be extra safe). I hope you will attend the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust’s community meeting on Thursday evening, July 13 at 7:00 PM. The purpose of our meeting is to update the community about the progress of the restoration of Los Cerritos Wetlands. It still blows my mind that at one point there was a golf course, strip mall, and houses proposed for our fragile local wetlands. I am thankful that while threats remain, those harmful projects were never realized and that now half of Los Cerritos Wetlands are publicly owned with more on its way. Now that this much-degraded land is safely in the public trust the next goal is to restore the land and bring it back to life. Eric Zahn has been spearheading that effort and he has important updates to share. Learn details at our member meeting (anyone is invited to attend) on July 13. In addition to hearing from our speaker, Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust members will be voting on some Board of Director positions. What: Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust Board Election/Community Meeting When: Thursday, July 13 at 7:00 PM Where: Belmont Heights United Methodist Church (in their lovely outdoor courtyard area) 317 Termino Ave Long Beach, CA 90814 In addition to Eric’s presentation, we will be using this occasion to conduct our Board of Directors election, with four of our sitting directors seeking terms. Before the feature presentation, each of our Board candidates will have an opportunity to speak to attendees about their continuing commitment to Los Cerritos Wetlands, and Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust members will be able to vote. Whether you are a member or not, all are welcome at this meeting. For more information about the meeting or to RSVP, email Elizabeth. Hope to see you there!
