| Join us to trek for Sea Turtles in the San Gabriel River on Saturday, April 2. 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, April 2, 2022 at 8:00 am sharp! The parking lot gate will open at 7:45 am and close at 8:10 am.
