Palos Verdes homes owners are lucky to have the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy which helps maintain our hillsides and trails. On Saturday, June 1, 2013, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy will be celebrating National Trails Day at Del Cerro Park, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. National Trails Day started in 1987 when President Ronald Regan’s Commission on the Americans Outdoors recommended that all Americans be able to go out their front doors and within fifteen minutes be on trails that would wind through their cities. That recommendation was dubbed “Trails for All Americans” and after years of public and private parties working with the American Hiking Society, National Trails Day was launched in 1993. None of this would have been possible without the hundreds of volunteers that have made this day special throughout the country.
Our own Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy is always looking for volunteers to come out and join them in maintaining and replenishing our native growth along our trails which is so necessary for our own eco and wildlife systems here on the Peninsula.
National Trails Day is a great opportunity to enjoy a guided nature walk and learn about the many volunteer trail projects in our area . Put on your hiking shoes and bring the family to enjoy nature and learn more about our local environment. In addition to hikes, there will be raffle prizes, treasure hunt, gifts and more.
Del Cerro Park is located at 2 Park Place, Rancho Palos Verdes. To learn more about the event call (310)541-7613, or visit www.pvplc.org
