W alk leaders will help you discover another side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. 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 and two Children's Walks designed especially for young people. 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. The Conservancy sponsors monthly habitat restoration projects on land the Conservancy has preserved. One hundred years ago, marshes like this were common in this area. Cosponsored by the Friends of Madrona Marsh and the City of Torrance Parks and Recreation Department. Wear long pants, good walking shoes, and bring water.
