ADVOCACY: The Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust has advocated for the protection of Los Cerritos Wetlands and the surrounding San Gabriel River estuary since 2001. In 2025, the Land Trust conducted environmental advocacy campaigns and provided oversight, collaboration, expertise, and defense of the wetlands in the following areas: We engaged experts to review a plan to use pumps to circulate water in Alamitos Bay, with the goal of demonstrating that more environmentally friendly pollution abatement alternatives are viable. We organized opposition to a proposal to construct environmentally damaging solar panels (intended to power oil operations) adjacent to sensitive publicly owned lands that are habitat for threatened species. We are monitoring proposed development projects within the Los Cerritos Wetlands Complex. We publicized and attended workshops on restoration designs to ensure the public is aware of the increased habitat protection this plan will provide.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH & PUBLIC EDUCATION: The Land Trust offers numerous education programs. Among these is the unique community service of free monthly guided nature walks through the wetlands led by trained ecologists and naturalists. These experts provide an immersive experience in our local wetlands while educating attendees about their history and importance. Due to the ongoing restoration of the Southern Area, we redirected our Raptor Ramble nature walk through Gum Grove Park. We host educational kayak tours of Steamshovel Slough, the most pristine part of the wetlands, led by a trained naturalist. The Land Trust also offers field trips for elementary classrooms, with an emphasis on students from Title I schools. We collaborate with the Long Beach parks district on their hands-on Be S.A.F.E. summer youth program by hosting youth from some of Long Beachs most urban neighborhoods at Zedler Marsh so they can learn about and explore the tidal salt marsh ecosystem.
