Naturalists , historians and geologists 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. W alks 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. W e 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 should wear comfortable shoes with good traction, should have sun protection, and should bring water. The Conservancy sponsors periodic habitat restoration projects on land the Conservancy has preserved. Activities include removing undesirable non-native plants, planting natives, and general site cleanups. It was a favorite weekend spot with LA's Japanese population. There is eye-catching folding in the rocks on the walk down, and you can comb the beach for quartz agate.
