Save Ballona Wetlands Saving the Ballona Wetlands! ~ a beautiful treasure and imperiled habitat on the Los Angeles coast. Save Ballona Wetlands is a campaign that needs your help!

The Army Corps of Engineers and allies want to bulldoze this magnificent wild jewel of L.A. The Ballona Wetlands is a significant stopover on the migration path for birds and butterflies. Native plants of the LA coastal plain grow here that are either rare or gone from our region. Part of an extensive mosaic of diverse ecological habitat types, the greater Ballona Wetlands ecosystem was created by the confluence of where historically the Los Angeles River and three other streams met the sea. More than 1,000 acres of state, city and county owned lands, a cradle of life to literally thousands of species, the Ballona Wetlands is in the heart of the Pacific Flyway and in the center of Santa Monica Bay. The 600+ acres of land now owned by the State of California is under threat from a terribly misguided plan to bulldoze, dredge, extinguish and alter the habitats that currently are home to many imperiled and threatened species - many of which currently live nowhere else on the Los Angeles coast. Wetlands Defense Fund needs YOUR involvement and support if we are to stop this assault on Nature. We ask for your generous support to help wake people up in Los Angeles and beyond to the treasure we have on the LA coast!

*California Residents*
Despite a court victory for 1,700 species of plants and animals at Ballona Wetlands, the government won't give up its attempt to bulldoze this precious habitat and is now requesting nearly $3 million for its 10-year phony “restoration” project. We must implore the Wildlife Conservation Board to defer or deny approving this request!

Do you know what it took to place the Ballona Wetlands and surrounding habitats into public ownership? It was 20 years ago this acquisition took place, and 5 years later the first Celebrate Ballona gala honored elected officials and journalists who helped. Watch this short video.
