Big impact day at Abalone Cove! 🌿💪
30 awesome volunteers rolled up their sleeves to remove invasive black mustard, helping make room for native plants and wildlife to thrive on Saturday morning. This dynamic volunteer crew also prepped toyon seeds for our native plant nursery—supporting future restoration projects across the peninsula. 🌱

🦋 Wildlife Wednesday: California Aster Magic
If you want to see the impact that one plant species can have, just look at all the butterfly species Board member Cynthia Woo has seen visiting California aster (Corethrogyne filaginifolia). It truly is a butterfly magnet! 🦋
Blooming late in the season when many other nectar sources are fading, this resilient native plant becomes a vital fuel stop for butterflies and other pollinators. From painted ladies to skippers and sulfurs, the diversity it supports is incredible.
This is the power of planting native species!

Another meaningful weekend of stewardship with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy 🌿
On February 14 at Abalone Cove, volunteers removed black mustard from our restoration site, helping reduce invasive weeds and create space for native habitat to thrive. On February 15 at White Point Nature Preserve, the team continued the momentum by removing black mustard and garden daisy from new planting sites and carefully haloing young native plants to support their growth. We were excited to welcome a group from King`s Hawaiian, who joined us in making a hands-on impact — thank you for your partnership and support!
We’re so grateful for everyone who showed up to protect and restore these beautiful open spaces. Together, we’re strengthening native habitats and caring for the Peninsula for generations to come. 💚
