Let's Go for a Nature Walk at the Alta Vicente Reserve in Palos Verdes
Details
Let's join the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy (PVPLC) on a nature walk in the Alta Vista Reserve overlooking one of the most beautiful pieces of coastline in the state of California.
No dogs, please.
This will be a relatively short hike of about 2miles with nearly 400 ft. of elevation gain. The walk will be guided by trained docents at a slow pace with many stops to observe the native fauna, flora and geology of the area. You will see one of the most established breeding sites for the endangered Cactus Wren. You may also be able to spot the other endangered bird species on the Peninsula, the California Gnat Catcher. Bring binoculars if you have them. You may have a chance to see one of these rare birds or other species that frequent the area.
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 following link:

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.
