Marketplace Marsh is an amazing watery feature of Los Cerritos Wetlands. Check it out for yourself. It’s springtime so there should be water within Marketplace Marsh, as well as lots of interesting plants and animals to learn about along the way. Our tour is led by our partners, biologists and environmental educators from Tidal Influence who will lead participants on a walking tour that will take us to Marketplace Marsh on the City of Long Beach’s wetlands and over to the San Gabriel River on property held by the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority.
During this 2-mile urban hike, you will learn about the history of land acquisitions in Los Cerritos Wetlands, and leaders will show us some freshwater marsh habitats that few people have ever viewed.We will likely come across great blue herons, as well as egrets and other water-loving wildlife. Participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at how wetlands and oil operations co-exist at Los Cerritos Wetlands.
