Palos Verdes homes owners agree that the Palos Verdes Peninsula is one of the most beautiful areas to live in. What makes it so inviting is that we are we surrounded by water and green hills which allow abundant wildlife.
It is important to remember that nature can use a helping hand now and then. Fires in the area have endangered our animal species, and plant life and urbanization are taking a toll on different native species.
We can help to restore these natural habitats for the protected species that live here on the Peninsula. Lucky for us, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy‘s stewardship of research and planning are helping to establish baselines for these habitats. They are trying when appropriate, to restore landscapes to their original authentic character, while also controlling the spread of invasive plans, that damage ecosystems by displacing native species.
Several times a year they invite the public to join in. On Saturday, November 19, 2011, one of these workdays will take place on the Portuguese Bend Reserve. From 9:00 to 12:oo noon, volunteers will help to plant and revive these areas. If you would like to volunteer to help restore the plant life go to www.PVPLC.org, or call 310-541-7613 to RSVP. The group will meet at 4 Burrell Lane, to sign in for this activity.
