Dear Ballona Wetlands Advocates,
We are on our third month of the year, and we hope all has gone well for all of you! In this month's issue, we showcase the founder of Outdoor Asians, learn to repair outdoor gear, and update you on local news from the recent Culver City Council vote to urge California to close down the SoCalGas facility at Ballona Wetlands.
As for project updates, our outreach and education projects will start to ramp up from here onward, as we continue to reach out to local schools of the Ballona Creek Watershed. We will continue to offer free virtual classes with a focus on the Ballona Creek Watershed to groups or classes of age 6-11 years. We are also developing a new curriculum for children which will focus on Ballona's Aquatic Life. This will be a virtual presentation for the time being with the hope to be taught in-person as well, topics that would be discussed are aquatic organisms, the aquatic food chain and web, the aquatic ecosystem, conservation, and stewardship.
If you know of an organization or class or wish to form a group of children who may be interested in the virtual class, please email sofia@ballona.org or fill out this form.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Sincerely,
The Ballona Wetlands Team
