Come See and Learn About BIRDS, PLANTS, WILDFLOWERS and OTHER INHABITANTS OF THE BALLONA WETLANDS ECOSYSTEM (see description, driving directions, and reservation info below)

BIKE TOUR - Sunday, Nov 2, 9:00 - 11:00 am
9:00  - 11:00 am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meet at Daniel's Bicycle Rental and Sales, 13737 Fiji Way (in Fisherman's Village) Marina del Rey, 310 980-4045
From the corner of Lincoln & Jefferson, travel north on Lincoln – at the first light, which is Fiji Way, go left. The shop is near the middle of the row of brightly colored buildings on your right. If you are traveling south on Lincoln, make a right on Fiji Way. (Fiji is the southern-most street that crosses Lincoln, in Marina del Rey). (Reservations requested - please see below)


See and learn about much more of the Ballona Wetlands ecosystem than you ever knew existed.   You will visit lagoons, grasslands, prairie meadows, saltmarsh, estuary and dune areas - and also see former marshlands now part of the Marina which still are home to a diversity of marine and bird species.

Biologist & geographer Robert Roy van de Hoek will provide you with an overview of the geography and natural history of this special place along the Los Angeles coast.   You will be amazed at the wildlife you will see when Roy is along to help open your eyes.   And you will never visit this place again and see it in quite the same way.

Reservations
