Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook In-Person Field Trip!
Explore Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook!
Baldwin Hills Parklands is an “island of habitat” surrounded by the second largest city in the country. This once exploited land has been restored to a beautiful native habitat thanks to civilian efforts to protect this green space. It is now a stunning urban park that features a panoramic view of the entire Los Angeles Basin, the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy the beautiful California sage scrub, wildflowers, and native animals that have made their homes in this haven of wildlife.
Bring your students to connect with the natural habitat and learn what efforts have lead to the preservation of this park and what actions the public can take to ensure it remains a part of ‘wild Los Angeles!'
During this field trip, students will be split into two groups and led by State Park staff on two different exploratory nature walks. After both groups have explored the park, you will be able to have a picnic lunch before departure.
