Coastal Transit to Trails/Transito a Senderos de Costa: Creating Connections at Deane Dana Friendship/Creando Con... (1)

To better prepare for our trip, we are asking participants to take 5 mins to read the following information.

Meet up location: West Gate Parking Lot at Vista Hermosa Natural Park (100 N Toluca St, Los Angeles, CA 90026) at 8:30am.

CNC staff will assist community members to check-in and fill out Wavier & Photo Release Form prior to boarding the bus. The bus ride will take about 30minutes - 1 hour, depending on traffic, to reach Deane Dana Friendship Regional Park & Nature Center (1805 W. 9th St. San Pedro, CA 90732). Folks are invited to participate in the nature exploration, interacting with animal ambassadors, arts and crafts with program staff.  At around 2:00pm, everyone will gather to end our visit with a closing circle and program evaluation, before boarding the bus and returning to Vista Hermosa Park.

The average temperature at Deane Dana Friendship Natural Area during this time of the year is approximately 65° during the day (subject to change), so layer up with thin breathable layers that can easily be removed or added (think layers like in onions!). We will spend 8:30am- 4:00pm (about 8.5 hours) together, so make sure to bring enough water, a nice filling lunch, backpack to carry your belongings, a sweater to use once temperatures lower, and curiosity for the ocean. Please make sure to arrive at the West Gate Parking Lot at Vista Hermosa Natural Park on time (5-10 mins early) because the bus will not wait; and in honor of people's time, we would love to follow our schedule accordingly.

Transit to Trails programming is FREE and family-friendly.

Reminders: We will be strolling through Deane Dana Friendship Regional Park & Nature Center, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. We are expecting the day to be partly sunny, so bring proper attire and/or products to protect your skin.

If you need any access needs (ways that we can help you have a safe and enjoyable experience) or need to communicate with CNC staff about our Transit to Trails, please reach out to our Program Coordinators, kya@communitynatureconnection.org or javier@communitynatureconnection.org.
