White Point Nature Preserve

White Point Nature Preserve encompasses land shaped by five thousand years of human history, including use by the Tongva for food gathering, by Spanish and Mexican ranchers for grazing, as the center of an abalone industry, as Japanese farmlands, and as the site of coastal defense installations during World War II and beyond. Officially dedicated as an open space preserve in 1999, this 102-acre parcel is owned by the City of Los Angeles and managed by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy. With community support and volunteer dedication, its coastal sage scrub, cactus scrub, and grasslands are being restored as the land returns to its former natural state and welcomes both visitors and native wildlife.
