Ballona Wetlands - Emblematic of our journey

Southern California is a vast ecosystem that stretches from ocean to inland valleys. In that stretch you find tidal wetlands such as this photo of the Ballona Wetlands that give and take from the waters of the Santa Monica Bay in the little oceanside town of Playa del Rey. The wetlands are being restored and their biodiversity is growing. Maybe this is an emblematic image for the goal of a sustainable habitat in all of Southern California. A well trampled pathway that both guides and protects as we walk in wonder.
