Time: 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Location: Wesley Hall at Belmont Heights United Methodist Church
317 Termino Ave (entrance on Mira Mar)
The Belmont Heights Community Association invites neighbors to our March Community Meeting, focused on coastal stewardship, wetlands preservation, and mobility planning in our city.
Main Speaker: Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust
Just a few miles from Belmont Heights lies one of our region’s most important — and most threatened — natural treasures: the Los Cerritos Wetlands.
Join us on to learn about this amazing environmental and community resource and what’s being done right now to protect and restore it.
We’re honored to welcome:
✨ Elizabeth Lambe, Executive Director of the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust
Elizabeth will share the history of the wetlands, the Trust’s ongoing advocacy work, and the fight against inappropriate development. She’ll also explain why transferring the wetlands into the public trust is key to protecting and restoring these fragile habitats for generations to come.
✨ Heather Altman, Public Engagement Coordinator for the Southern LCW Restoration Project
Heather will walk us through details and renderings of the exciting Southern Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration Project — the first major restoration effort of its kind. Located off Pacific Coast Highway and First Street in Seal Beach, this transformative project is already underway.
This is a unique opportunity to better understand a landscape that shapes our coastal ecosystem, supports wildlife, and strengthens our community’s environmental future.
As always, all are welcome — bring a neighbor and your curiosity. 🌊🌱
