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. And watch for other special events as we we enter our second decade of preservation. This easy walk combines beautiful views with interesting habitat, and you see the locations of the Nike missile site and World War II bunkers located on the site.
