| MADRONA MARSH PRESERVE STROLL Led by Tracy Drake This is an ideal opportunity to explore the Marsh at a leisurely pace and under the expert guidance of Tracy Drake, Manager and Naturalist of the Madrona Marsh Preserve and Nature Center. We will learn about the latest happenings on the Marsh and see birds, critters, bugs, and plants who all find a home there. We will meet at the Nature Center meeting room at 7:00 PM to gather for our walk. The stroll should last about 1 to 1 ½ hours. At the end of the walk, we will return to the Nature Center meeting room for refreshments and a Q&A session. For our Stroll it is recommended that everyone wear long pants, shirts with long sleeves, and have sturdy walking shoes for uneven terrain. You may wish to wear a hat, and a light jacket, and bring binoculars. There should be plenty of light well up to 8:00 PM. However, if you wish to bring a flashlight, please bring a red light as this does not create glare for anyone else, i.e., white lights will blind other people. Everyone welcome! Come and enjoy the program, enjoy somelLight refreshments, socialize with friends, and fill out a ticket for the door prize drawing. Prizes are donated by Wild Birds Unlimited. The Madrona Marsh Nature Center is located at 3201 Plaza del Amo, Torrance, CA, 90503. |
