WATERSHED BIKE RIDE
Bring your cameras and your earth eyes for a guided bike ride which will start at the base of the Santa Monica foothills and follow the way of the water – the watershed -down to the Ballona Creek, on to the Ballona Wetlands and out to the ocean, the millennia-old workings of Nature under your wheels. This is a great opportunity to connect with the deep eco-structures of the world. The ride will end in Venice at the Lodge with a brunch and discussion followed by a screening montage of the photos taken by participants that morning on the ride. There will be a Lodge van to take you back to the start.
