The Long Beach Group continues to work with local governments in strengthening sustainable cities and avoiding urban sprawl and its impact on natural areas. We have endorsed federal grants to Signal Hill and pledge to continue to do so. We help with cleanups and planting and meet with community groups. We are petitioning local voters to learn their wishes about open space and the quality of life on the best hilltop in 20 miles. We encourage local taxpayers, voters, and property owners to let their elected officials know their wishes about the future of this open space.
Two local conservation issues that are near and dear to our hearts are the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and the Los Cerritos Wetlands. Check out these sites dedicated the the preservation of these treasures and see why we care.
The Long Beach Group Conservation Committee meets the 4th Monday of each month. The meetings start at 7:30 PM. Join us to find what's happening in local, regional and national conservation issues. Contact our conservation chair (see Tidelines or the Schedule of Activities) for meeting place or more information.
