They'll tell you about the history of this once-channel island, about the birds, wildlife, and plants that live in the canyons and undeveloped areas, and about the unique geology of this special Peninsula. Walks are organized and sponsored by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, a nonprofit, nonpolitical, public-benefit corporation dedicated to the preservation of natural open space on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. We offer twelve monthly Nature Walks. Many are family oriented and suitable for children. All walks are free and reservations are not required.
Walks are on dirt trails.
Participants are urged to wear comfortable shoes with good traction, wear sun protection, and bring water. If you're looking for some great activities for children, we recommend the George F Canyon Nature Center, located at the southwest corner of the Palos Verdes Drive East -Palos Verdes Drive North intersection. For more children's activities, the Los Serenos de Pt. Vicente docents specialize in children's walks at the Forrestal property and Abalone Cove Preserve. The Conservancy sponsors monthly habitat restoration projects on preserved land.
