Join us for a nature walk at the El Dorado Nature Center in Long Beach on Saturday Aug 8th at 9:45am. El Dorado Nature Center is a 105-acre park featuring a visitor center, flora & fauna, lakes, a stream & walking trails. Entrance into the nature center is free, however, there is a vehicle entrance fee of **$8.00**. Once you have parked in the El Dorado Nature Center parking lot, head towards the entrance gate which is where we will meet. This is not a hike. This is a 2-mile nature walk where we will see beautiful trees, plants and birds. Most of the trail is shaded, but a hat and water are still recommended. After our walk we'll meet at The Mustard Seed for lunch at 12:00pm to experience delicious vegan food. The restaurant is about a 10-15 minute drive from the nature center depending on traffic. From the El Dorado Nature Center: Nestled between the San Gabriel River and the 605 Freeway, El Dorado Nature Center is an oasis of natural habitat, offering visitors the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the urban environment. The 105 acres that make up the Nature Center grounds provide sanctuary for animals and plant life. Two miles of dirt trails and a ¼ mile paved trail wind around two lakes, a stream and forested areas. At the entrance, cross over the wooden bridge that spans the lake and you'll find yourself on a small island that houses the Visitor Center, containing educational displays, art gallery and a small gift shop offering environmentally themed books and gifts. **El Dorado Nature Center** Website: [https://www.longbeach.gov/park/park-and-facilities/parks-centers-pier/el-dorado-nature-center/](https://www.longbeach.gov/park/park-and-facilities/parks-centers-pier/el-dorado-nature-center/) Address: 7550 E Spring Street, Long Beach, CA 90815 (562) 570-1745 **The Mustard Seed** 11308 South St Cerritos, CA 90703 (562) 860-7772 https://www.mustardseedvegan.com/ DISCLAIMER: Group organizers and assistant organizers assume no liability; come at your own risk.
