Our vision is the creation and management of large blocks of natural open space where visitors may enjoy peaceful solitude, where children and adults can learn about the natural environment, and where locally native plants and animals will exist in a secure environment.

Since its founding in 1988, PVPLC has protected 1400 acres of open space as nature preserves on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

The PVPLC has an obligation to maintain or increase the wildlife habitat value of these preserved lands and keep them open and available for public use in perpetuity. We encourage strong community involvement and support by connecting people of all ages with the land through nature walks, innovative environmental education programs, and outdoor stewardship volunteer opportunities.

PVPLC works cooperatively with cities, property owners and environmental groups to acquire additional land from willing sellers, restore the native habitat, and promote the conservation of natural open space on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

WILDFIRE UPDATE

As of November 10th, the City of Rancho Palos has re-opened portions of the Portuguese Bend Reserve with limited trail access. The temporary trail closures are to help ensure recovery of sensitive habitat that was burned during the August wildfire. Please refer to the modified trails map attached for specific closures and alternative routes. When visiting the Reserve, please observe all signage, along with posted safety and trail etiquette.
