The Ballona Wetlands Land Trust

Currently the Land Trust is advocating and litigating to protect the remaining 200 acres of the Ballona Wetlands Ecosystem. This last open space could not only be used for habitat, but also as a treatment wetland. This Natural Treatment Wetland could clean Ballona and Centinela creek before they reached the preserved 600-acre Ballona Ecological Reserve and the Santa Monica Bay. Our vision is not only ecological; it is financially viable.

The Ballona Wetlands Land Trust is also a key player in the Restoration of the permanently preserved 600-acre property.
