Habitat Restoration Moves Ahead<br />
By Steve Heyn, <strong>Land</strong> Stewardship Director<br />
It’s planting season again and the<br />
<strong>Conservancy</strong>’s stewardship staff have<br />
been busy planting at the Defense Fuel<br />
Supply Point (DFSP) in San Pedro and at<br />
the Linden H. Chandler<br />
Preserve in<br />
Rolling Hills Estates.<br />
So far this<br />
year, about nine<br />
acres have been<br />
revegetated at the<br />
DFSP with one<br />
more to go this year,<br />
and then on to the<br />
Chandler Preserve,<br />
where we will<br />
revegetate five additional<br />
acres.<br />
Overall, more<br />
than 15 acres have<br />
been restored at the<br />
DFSP site and approximately 10 at the<br />
Chandler Preserve.<br />
All of this work was prompted by a<br />
little blue butterfly—the PV Blue, which<br />
is about the size of a quarter. The DFSP<br />
was the home of the universe’s last<br />
remaining population of PV Blue butterflies<br />
until now.<br />
The PV Blue was<br />
reintroduced at the<br />
Chandler Preserve<br />
last year in hopes<br />
that a second stable<br />
population will develop<br />
there.<br />
Around the middle<br />
of March or early<br />
April, the butterflies<br />
should emerge<br />
from their pupae<br />
and view their recently-revegetated<br />
home.<br />
If you want to<br />
help the PV Blue<br />
with its recovery, contact Steve Heyn<br />
at the <strong>Conservancy</strong>’s office (310-541-<br />

the Chandler Preserve or the DFSP.<br />
