Conservancy Launches<br />

Fundraising Campaign to Fulfill the Dream<br />

On Sunday, March 20 th the <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Verdes</strong> <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>Land</strong> Conservancy and the City of Rancho <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Verdes</strong> gathered with<br />

residents and elected officials to launch a $6 million community fundraising campaign to “Fulfill the Dream” of purchasing land that<br />

will complete the 1500-acre Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve.<br />

A ribbon-cutting ceremony, hosted by Bill Ailor and RPV Mayor Larry Clark, was held at the top of Del Cerro Park, overlooking<br />

the magnificent slopes of Portuguese Bend with Catalina Island in the distance. This location is especially meaningful because a<br />

donor recognition site for the preserve will be created on this spectacular overlook. An<br />

estimated 500 <strong>Peninsula</strong> residents and over 70 community groups cut ribbons and showed<br />

their support for the Preserve.<br />

As part of the campaign, the <strong>Land</strong> Conservancy announced a Legacy Stakeholder program<br />

that would allow people to contribute by purchasing an honorary deed representing a portion of<br />

the preserve. Patrons who donate $37,000 or more for an honorary deed for a full acre, will be<br />

honored with permanent recognition at the Del Cerro site as a lasting tribute and legacy. Also,<br />

there will be limited naming opportunities for trails, scenic overlooks, and wilderness areas of<br />

the preserve for donors whose gifts exceed $100,000. However, smaller donations are also<br />

encouraged and honorary deeds are available for less than one acre. To learn more about<br />

the Community Campaign to Preserve Portuguese Bend, call Executive Director<br />

Barbara Dye at 310/541-7613 X 205.<br />

Portuguese Bend Pony Club was one<br />

of 70 groups who cut ribbons at Del<br />

Cerro Park.<br />

Sara Ruth and Elmer Grimes cut<br />

ribbons for their homeowners<br />

association.

President’s Remarks<br />

Mariposa Circle members demonstrated<br />

their support at the Capital Campaign<br />

launch on March 20.<br />

Now’s The Time<br />

Those of you who have been with the Conservancy for years know that we have<br />

never made a real push for large donations. Our philosophy has been that we will make<br />

that push when we have a real, defined, specific need. Well, now’s the time.<br />

For the past 15 years, we have been working at a slow but deliberate pace to build<br />

the credibility of <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Verdes</strong> as a place where open space should be preserved, to<br />

build local support for the preservation of open space, and to show that we could<br />

actually manage these areas if they were preserved.<br />

We’ve done all three.<br />

Some at the State level didn’t believe that there was<br />

actually any significant open space remaining in this part<br />

of Los Angeles County. The State is now a partner in<br />

preserving these lands.<br />

Some at the local level thought preserving large blocks of <strong>Peninsula</strong> open space was a fantasy<br />

—we’d never be able to raise the funds. We’ve done it. We’ve brought over $13 million to the<br />

<strong>Peninsula</strong> and acquired nearly 300 acres of developable land to date. It’s not a fantasy. It can be<br />

done.<br />

Some said managing open space would be too expensive—we couldn’t afford it if we did<br />

preserve it. We’ve shown that our community is committed to responsible management. Volunteers<br />

have donated thousands of hours and donors have contributed thousands of dollars to make<br />

it happen.<br />

The <strong>Land</strong> Conservancy has been instrumental in all of these advances. We have focused<br />

community efforts to make our significant open space areas known to County and State officials,<br />

to bring funds here for acquisition and management, and to organize an effective land stewardship<br />

program.<br />

As a result, our community is poised to make its last, but most significant preservation<br />

action—the acquisition of 700 acres and the creation of the Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve.<br />

Funding has been identified, we have willing sellers, local and political support is strong. But we<br />

need one last thing—we need to raise $6 million locally, a trigger for an acquisition with a total<br />

price of nearly $30 million.<br />

So if you’re looking for that unique opportunity to leave a legacy in the community where you<br />

live—now’s the time.<br />

If you want to make a contribution that will define the future of this spectacular area—now’s<br />

the time.<br />

If you want to preserve a quality of life unique in the South Bay—now’s the time.<br />

If you want to assure the preservation of an area where adults and children can enjoy the<br />

natural environment and celebrate our creator’s wonders—now’s the time.<br />

So, if you’ve been holding back, waiting for us to bring a deal to the table: we’ve done it. It’s<br />

on the table, and now’s the time to make that larger donation. We need your help. Now.<br />

First Quarter 2005<br />

Fulfill the Dream…<br />

We are so fortunate in the South Bay to enjoy so many<br />

outstanding assets like our schools, hospitals, shops and of<br />

course our wonderful people. But in particular we have a very<br />

valuable and unique asset and that is our open space. An asset<br />

that many communities do not have to enjoy.<br />

As stewards of our community, we<br />

must be diligent about preserving this<br />

asset, for once it is gone, it is gone<br />

forever and cannot be brought back.<br />

The <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Verdes</strong> <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>Land</strong><br />

Conservancy is working very hard to<br />

acquire, preserve and maintain peninsula<br />

open space with the dream of creating a<br />

1,500 acre nature preserve in Portuguese<br />

Bend. We are honored to chair the<br />

Capital Campaign to raise the six million<br />

dollars needed from the community, to<br />

make this dream a reality.<br />

We invite the communities of the South Bay to join us in<br />

this effort, and to embrace our goal to preserve the scenic<br />

beauty of our coastal open space So we can enjoy it ourselves,<br />

as will our children and many generations to come.<br />

Linden H. Chandler Preserve<br />

Interpretive signs have been installed near the Rolling Hills Little League field. The tri-panel<br />

display features information on Linden H. Chandler, the <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Verdes</strong> blue butterfly, and the<br />

preserve’s trail system. Furthermore, the Los Angeles Conservation Corps has volunteered a<br />

work crew to repair and maintain a number of trails damaged by this winter’s heavy rain. The<br />

community-led advisory board has met two times this year supporting the <strong>Land</strong> Conservancy’s<br />

commitment to involve the local community in the management of its preserves.<br />

Defense Fuel Supply Point and Nursery<br />

New interpretive signage<br />

displays a trail map and<br />

The arrival of spring means that the <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Verdes</strong> blue butterfly is in flight at the DFSP. A<br />

historical information on the<br />

healthy natural population has been observed and the Navy’s captive breeding program will once Chandler Preserve.<br />

again help assure the survival of this butterfly species at the DFSP. The nursery continues to<br />

propagate plants for the restoration projects underway at the Preserves.<br />

Education Program<br />

PVPLC docents are busy bringing our education program and nature walk to third grades all<br />

over the <strong>Peninsula</strong>. This year we are adding Point Fermin Elementary in San Pedro to the 15<br />

other schools that enjoy the program.<br />

Students from Rancho Vista<br />

Elementary school listen to a<br />

volunteer on their walk in<br />

Chadwick Canyon.<br />

Forrestal Nature Preserve<br />

The Rancho <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Verdes</strong> City Council approved a revised<br />

Management Plan for the Preserve, including a plan for a trail<br />

system and uses. The <strong>Land</strong> Conservancy is accepting applications<br />

for the Forrestal Advisory Board (call the office or visit our web<br />

page for an application). The Board’s first task will be to review a list of projects for the Preserve,<br />

including trail improvements.<br />

Once again, REI is teaming up with the PVPLC during National Trails Day on Saturday, June 4.<br />

Volunteers are needed to repair and maintain trails and habitat at the Forrestal Preserve from<br />

9am to noon. We encourage everyone to join in and make this day a big success.<br />

This year is the best in recent memory for wildflowers. Visit the Forrestal Preserve to see a<br />

bumper crop of mariposa lilies, paintbrush, bush sunflowers and wild hyacinths.<br />

Members of CORBA lend a<br />

hand to help maintain trails at<br />

Forrestal in March.<br />

George F Canyon Preserve<br />

Spring rains caused some damage to the trail, but the City of RHE has completed repair work<br />

and the Preserve welcomes visitors. When the Nature Center is open, you’ll see a new directional<br />

sign on the corner, the goal being to increase the number of visitors. The Nature Center is<br />

open from 1pm to 4pm on Fridays and from 10am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.<br />

We’re also forming an Advisory Board for the Center and Canyon. Please call the office or<br />

check the PVPLC web page for an application.<br />

Lunada Canyon Preserve<br />

With the help of two Eagle Scout candidates, Chris Jensen and Kevin Webb, and Girl Scout<br />

Lauryn Gold working on her gold award, the <strong>Land</strong> Conservancy completed the restoration of an<br />

acre of wetland at the top of the canyon. The restoration will provide food and shelter for native<br />

fauna, improve water quality, and help with erosion control on the immediate area.<br />

<strong>Peninsula</strong> High students from<br />

Ben Smith’s AP class in<br />

Environmental Studies help out<br />

at Lunada Canyon.

White Point Nature Preserve<br />

In partnership with the South Bay Volunteer Center, more than 50 volunteers gathered<br />

and assisted in planting an acre of coastal sage scrub for Caesar Chavez Day in March. “The<br />

work we have done with the <strong>Land</strong> Conservancy has inspired our youth members to be active<br />

participants in the environment. We now act as stewards of Harbor Regional, the park near<br />

our center,” said Enrique Iribe of the Boys and Girls Club of the South Bay.<br />

The Los Angeles Conservation Corps has assisted with the grassland restoration project<br />

by planting hundreds of herbs and shrubs. Prior to any planting, the Corps members removed<br />

several large infestations of garland daisy (Chrysantheumum coronarium) and mallow (malva sp).<br />

Approximately 30 acres of grassland were seeded in <strong>2004</strong> and six acres were re-seeded in<br />

January 2005. The goal of the seeding is to provide<br />

Leland Street Elementary School students<br />

take a field trip to White Point Nature<br />

Preserve.<br />

Ramona Pei (South Bay Volunteer<br />

Center) shares lessons taught by Cesar<br />

Chavez during their Service Learning<br />

Project at White Point.<br />

an ample seedbank that will enable perennial bunchgrasses to germinate and become<br />

established. As large stands of the native grasses sway in the breeze, we are reminded of<br />

the success of our seeding efforts. Non-native grasses remain prolific; however, we hope<br />

that with continued persistance, a more pure grassland will thrive.<br />

Our community-led Advisory Board continues to meet monthly. They are focusing<br />

now on providing input for selecting a consultant to develop an Interpretive Plan for the<br />

site. The Plan, which will be developed this spring, will draw on applied psychology,<br />

communications, recreation and learning theories, to tell the story of White Point<br />

through signage, wayside exhibits and printed materials. We wish to create a highly<br />

successful visitor experience, and highlight the site’s natural and cultural history.<br />

The Boeing Employees Community Fund awarded a $3000 grant to the White Point<br />

Nature Preserve. This group is the largest employee-owned charitable organization in<br />

the world with Boeing employees managing the funds and choosing the community organizations that receive help. The Boeing<br />

Fund believes that through voluntary giving and community service, our neighborhoods are safer and healthier—better places in<br />

which to live, work and raise families. We sincerely thank the Boeing employees for their generosity and support for the benefit of<br />

our community and coastal open space in Los Angeles.<br />

Long-Missing Butterfly May be Breeding at Forrestal!<br />

by Martin Byhower<br />

On Saturday, February 19, I was birding in one of my favorite local spots, Forrestal Canyon. It is the<br />

last bastion for many local species of birds (butterflies and plants, too!) Of course, I am always checking<br />

out the plants and butterflies, since this area could and does turn up interesting life of all sorts. I ran into<br />

my friends Carol Selvey and Kevin Larson, and we began exploring together. We noticed a blue butterfly<br />

in the large colony of Astragalus (rattleweed) on the trail above the quarry bowl. We all knew that this<br />

plant was/is the host plant for the endangered PV blue butterfly, which used to occur here and which will<br />

hopefully recolonize the area.<br />

photo by Bill Ailor<br />

However, when I looked closely at the critter, I saw that it had a tail! A lot of butterflies have a taillike<br />

extension on their hindwing, which serves as a “fake head,” evolved to lure predators away from more vital regions. But the<br />

only Blue that has a tail and could be here was one deemed extirpated from the area for 30 years!<br />

Looking around, we found a brownish butterfly without a tail, which turned out to be a very ragged female Western Tailed-<br />

Blue. A few days later, Bill Ailor photographed a haggard but clearly identifiable male WTB! So it looks like we may have a nascent<br />

recolonization of this species, and if it has returned, we can hope that others, including the PV blue, will follow. Who knows what<br />

else will turn up in this remarkable Nature Preserve, which I believe functions as no less than a main branch of the Genetic Library<br />

of our Island-<strong>Peninsula</strong>’s Natural Biological Heritage!

PVPLC Website Gets a New Look!<br />

If you’ve visited the <strong>Land</strong> Conservancy website<br />

lately, you’ve probably noticed a few changes. After<br />

ten years, it was time to update a lot of our content<br />

Portuguese Bend Artist Colony member Rick<br />

Humphrey designed the new page and volunteer<br />

webmaster J.C. Kern translated Rick’s concept to<br />

our website. J.C. then spent many hours helping us<br />

add and update information, documents, photos and<br />

links. We’ve added some new capabilities too. Now, you can even view our new “Fulfill the<br />

Preservation of Open Spaces<br />

A Statement of Purpose<br />

The <strong>Palos</strong> <strong>Verdes</strong> <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>Land</strong> Conservancy is a nonprofit, nonpolitical, public-benefit<br />

corporation formed to preserve undeveloped land in perpetuity as open space for historical,<br />

educational, ecological, recreational and scenic purposes.<br />

A diverse group of volunteers from the South Bay makes up the PVPLC's managing Board of<br />

Directors and its adjunct advisory board. These private citizens have been drawn together by their<br />

belief that open space is crucial to the well-being of our community.<br />

<strong>Land</strong> acquisition by the PVPLC is through purchase and gift. In addition to the good will<br />

engendered by gift giving, landowners and others who donate land or funds to the PVPLC may<br />

realize significant tax benefits.<br />

Catch the Neighborhood Spirit at Spring for White Point<br />

“A community of people concerned with saving the open space around them”;<br />

“Walking through White Point gives me a feeling of serenity and wonder of the beauty of nature”;<br />

“Having access to this wonderful, wild open space has had a profound impact on my children who constantly<br />

discover new things and have developed a deep love and respect for nature.”<br />

These are a few comments from individuals when asked what White Point means to them. It is in this spirit that the community<br />

gathers annually at Spring for White Point to support the<br />

coastal resource, the White Point Nature Preserve.<br />

Each year the Committee pulls together an incredible<br />

Save the Date! Saturday, June 25<br />

selection of art for the silent auction. In various media and a<br />

range of styles, these one-of-a-kind artworks are reason alone<br />

to attend this great event.<br />

But there’s much more! This year’s live auction will have<br />

bidders competing for a private condo in Maui, a 2-week holiday<br />

rental in Australia, kayak and flying lessons and many more fun<br />

and exciting prizes, all donated by<br />

local businesses or residents.<br />

We thank the many talented<br />

artists and generous businesses<br />

who help support Spring for White<br />

Point.<br />

Susan Rawcliffe, master flute maker<br />

<strong>Peninsula</strong> Chapter, National Charity<br />

<strong>2004</strong> was a very exciting year highlighted by the impressive<br />

progress we’ve made toward our goal to preserve the remaining open<br />

space in Portuguese Bend. Over the years, community support for the<br />

<strong>Land</strong> Conservancy and its programs has continued to grow and we are<br />

heartened by the 1550 member families, individuals and organizations,<br />

386 new members and many more volunteers who have chosen to<br />

donate their time or services during the past year. In addition,<br />

membership in our sustaining group, the Mariposa Circle, has<br />

doubled, thanks to the generosity of Mike and Virginia Cicoria and<br />

their challenge grant. We thank everyone for your continued support<br />

and your belief in the value of open space for our community.<br />
