Margot Griswold, Restoration Ecologist offers conservation minded alternative to bulldozing the Ballona Wetlands
https://youtube.com/watch?v=tqMEVdaql8E April 12, 2014 - 60 minutes
Dr. Griswold explains that these historical wetlands have not had full tidal flow (proposed by the Bay Foundation) for thousands of years. Spend an hour watching Dr. Griswold's presentation; you will feel hope and awe for all the species you will meet. I learned effortlessly as she shared her vast knowledge of the history of Ballona. Her passion for the Ballona Wetlands is evident throughout. Jonathan Coffin's Ballona Wildlife Photos made my experience all the more worthwhile. Kudos, Margot and the Airport Marina Group of the Sierra Club for hosting her. Thanks to Patricia McPherson of Grassroots Coalition for this You Tube Video of the entire presentation including audience interaction.
