The Rio Hondo Nature Program is aimed at the Pico Rivera community’s local youth and their families. The program allows local youth the opportunity to explore the outdoors, gain leadership experience, and learn about career paths within nature at no expense. Participants will learn with a combination of guest speakers and hands-on experiences through the exploration of local outdoor excursions. Transportation and admission to excursions are paid for through the Outdoor Equity Grants Program.
The Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve is an excellent learning experience of wetland science and history firsthand! Throughout the guided hike explorers will learn about wetland ecology, watershed protection, biology, and history, with an emphasis on conservation and restoration. In addition, explorers will understand the wetland habitats' importance and how we are all connected.
