Palos Verde Peninsula Hike! In the Storm!!

So apparently when you schedule field trips, that gives the mighty San Pedro Bay gods all the motivation they need to unleash a mighty storm. No matter; we were undettered. After the last three field trips succumbed to inclement weather, this trip was determined to occur. Due to our courageous leadership of Cris Sarabia, Stewardship Manager of the Palos Verde Peninsula Land Conservancy, we were led on an amazing tour one of their many restorations. This particular restoration involved the usage of goats as non-native weed killers. While the goats were hunkered down under the nearby shrubbery (as we might have been intelligent enough to do so were it not for stubborn perseverance) our 11 person crew was still able to see the many fine points of their work. Check out the photos below because it really was an exhilarating time! Also, be sure to check out the next EcoLink meeting this Thursday at 7pm at the Unitarian Church on Bellflower and Atherton.
