Malibu Creek State Park In-Person Field Trip!

Explore Malibu Creek State Park!

As the Santa Monica Mountains were slowly rising, Malibu Creek was meandering across the land, cutting the scenic gorges and buttes through the 20 million year old volcanic mountains. The unique climate of cool wet winters and hot dry summers create a “hot spot” for biodiversity, second only to the Rain Forest. 

Visit us in person at Malibu Creek State Park for our docent-led field trip designed for grades 3rd through 5th! On our trip, students will take a 3-mile guided nature walk along Malibu Creek as they explore how plants, animals, and humans (now and historically) are interconnected and dependent on each other. Students will understand the need to preserve and protect Malibu Creek State Park and the ecosystems where they live!
