Nature walk at Forrestal Reserve

We will be joining the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy (PVPLC) on a nature walk in the Forrestal Reserve overlooking one of the most beautiful pieces of coastline in the state of California.

This will be a relatively short hike between 2 and 3 miles with about 500 ft. of elevation gain. The walk will be guided by trained docents at a slow pace with many stops to observe the native flora and geology of the area and talk about its history. You will see one of the most exceptional examples of native coastal sage habitat on the peninsula at this reserve. We will also be able to view some of the exposed geologic history of the area among the cliffs at this former basalt quarry.

If you'd like to join the walk, in addition to your RSVP on this Meetup page, please RSVP on the PVPLC's website using the link below:

There are many wonderful nature walk leaders/docents on this enjoyable nature walk. We hope to see you there.

Upon arrival at the trail head, sign in at the Conservancy table. You will be directed to the area to wait for the next docent. Feel free to let the hosts at the table know that you would like to join a hike with some of your friends. After the nature walk, you may also want to join hiking friends to check out some of the other trails in the preserve.
