Community Corner

Turtle Trek

Two local biologists and environmental educators, Taylor Parker and Eric Zahn, will lead a tour of wetlands, to the San Gabriel River, along the bridge that crosses the river at 2nd St. and then through Zedler Marsh, Calloway Marsh, down to PCH, north again past the Pumpkin Patch, land swap property and then back to our meeting place. 

This tour will provide attendees with a rare view of the wetlands that most have not had a chance to see.  Did you know that due to the warm water discharged by the AES and Haynes power plants, a portion of the river has been attracting green sea turtles?
 
Meet at the driveway/ inland entrance to Los Cerritos Wetlands on the corner of 1st Street and PCH at the Long Beach/Seal Beach border. (There will be signs).  Close-toed shoes; and kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.   For more information or to RSVP for a spot on this tour email ejlambe@verizon.net or call 714/357-8576.
