Bolsa Chica Wants You!


I just got an email about a HUGE Earth Day event. Bolsa Chica Land Trust is calling on all concerned citizens to each donate $50 for the Bolsa Chica Project, the first step in the complete restoration of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. The group hopes to get 100,000 people involved, making it the largest single-day donation for an ecosystem restoration project. Their website has lots of information about the wetlands and the restoration project as well as a cool video. (Check out the monster reptile!)

My heart lies closer to home at the Los Cerritos Wetlands, but any success at Bolsa Chica can only be good for restoring Los Cerritos. What if in my lifetime, these two cradles of salt and freshwater wildlife were healed of the massive pollution and neglect they’ve suffered from for so many years? Yes, I can dream and so can you.
