Students will explore Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook from 420 feet above sea level, experiencing breathtaking views of the Los Angeles skyline, surrounding mountains, and the Pacific Ocean. Students will learn about biodiversity and the human impacts on this land. We highlight the animal adaptations used to survive in this ever-changing environment and explore possible solutions to habitat loss, which has a direct impact on our quality of life. This program includes a nature walk across our hillside with binoculars, a hands-on activity involving animal pelts, and a fragmentation game that mirrors the changes in our city.
