We feature the Madrona Marsh Nature Center, which has been preserved as a green oasis in the middle of Torrance. Learn about what makes the marsh special and take a tour of the nature center.
In segment one, Elizabeth Evans, the Madrona Marsh Nature Center Manager and Naturalist, joins Hal to tell us about the marsh that has been preserved as a green oasis in the middle of Torrance. The area is an vernal marsh, which means it is wet from rain in the spring and then dries out during the dry season of the year. The sump area holds water that can be pumped out into the marsh to support the wildlife.
In segment two, Suzan Hubert, president of Friends of Madrona Marsh, shows Hal some of the things that make the marsh special and how it transforms the moods and attitudes of those who visit. She talks about what both children and adults can learn from the marsh, and tells us about the fundraiser that will be held on August 11 to commemorate 50 years of the organization.
