Learn about restoration ecology at Zedler Marsh, an active restoration site in the Los Cerritos Wetlands. We will explore the different types of plant communities (coastal salt marsh, mulefat scrub, coastal sage scrub) being cultivated for the current and future restoration of the wetlands.
Our walk will begin with a brief orientation about Los Cerritos Wetlands. Tour leaders will discuss some interesting challenges in restoring the Zedler Marsh wetlands area, the restoration techniques they rely on, and the important role of California native plants. Some of the techniques discussed in the tour can be applied to residential landscapes and we encourage participants to plant natives in their yards. There will also be opportunities for birding and other wildlife sightings at Zedler Marsh.
