| You are invited to join us and our partners, environmental educators from the environmental consulting firm Tidal Influence, on a beautiful nature walk of Los Cerritos Wetlands on Saturday, December 2. Get outside with us and enjoy some of our unique local open spaces and interesting habitats. 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 while learning about the important restoration planning for the Seal Beach portion of Los Cerritos 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, December 2, 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. WHERE: Meet in the driveway/parking area at the corner of 1st Street and PCH in Seal Beach. Close-toed shoes are required, and kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. To learn more about the Raptor Ramble or RSVP, please reserve your spot through our Eventbrite page. If you have additional questions send an email to elizabeth@lcwlandtrust.org. |
 Also on October 7th, from 10:30 AM-12:30 PM, you are invited to join community-based wetlands restoration. Los Cerritos Wetlands are being restored and made beautiful because of hard-working folks who volunteer their time to remove invasive plants and other weeds and plant in their place “habitat friendly” native plants. It’s fun, 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! For more information or to RSVP email iwanttohelp@tidalinfluence.com. |
