Weekday Field Trip
Thursday, March 18th, 9:00a.m.
Golden Shore Marine Reserve
by Carolyn Vance
Last year’s trip in last April was great, but not enough shore birds. We’re going to try for them this month. This little-known place is where the L.A. River joins the Pacific Ocean. There are also some wonderful trees the line the parking lot of the businesses there that produces some wonderful birds last year.
Meet at the south end of the El Dorado branch Library (on Studebaker Rd. just south of Spring St., Long Beach) on Thursday, March 18th at 9:00 a.m. to carpool or at the metered (quarters needed) parking lot at the entrance of the Reserve at 9:30 a.m. Remember to bring binoculars, a hat, field guide, water and snacks and a spotting scope if you have one. It is an easy walk on pavement. If you have any questions, call me, Carolyn Vance, at 562-594-7589.
Directions (from meeting place): Take Ocean Blvd. east through downtown Long Beach almost to the 710 Fwy just east of the L.A. River. Turn left (south – the Hilton Hotel is on the corner), go over a slight rise. The Reserve is right next to a RV Park and there is a sign on the right hand side for parking. If you pass the Chancellor’s office you’ve gone too far. (Thomas Guide page 825, C-1) |

Weekend Trip
Saturday, March 6th, 8:00 a.m.
Madrona Marsh Preserve
by Carolyn Vance
Join us for a trip to an “island of wilderness in the city”. Come and explore one of the last remaining vernal marshes in Southern California. We will look for early spring migrants and lingering waterfowl.
We’ll car-pool from the El Dorado Branch Library on Studebaker promptly at 8 a.m. Or meet us at the parking lot of the Madrona Nature Center between 8:30- 8:45 a.m. The address is 3201 Plaza del Amo, Torrance (Thomas guide page 763, E-7). The entrance gate to the Preserve is directly across the street from the Nature Center, where there’s plenty of parking and bathrooms available. Expect to take 2-2 ½ hours to walk the preserve. It’s flat terrain, on well packed trails. Expect to return to the Library by about 12:00p.m. Heavy rain cancels. |
