Madrona Marsh
Madrona Marsh

The Madrona Marsh Preserve, in the city of Torrance in the South Bay region of Southern California, is a seasonal wetland with vernal pools. The 43 acres (17 ha) was a former site of oil wells and is one of the few natural areas remaining within an urban landscape.Formed eons ago when the mountains of the Palos Verdes Peninsula rose to the south, Madrona Marsh is a shallow depression fed by wet season (spring) storms as the name "vernal" indicates. After the rainy season, evaporation, percolation and transpiration reduce the water depth by about one-quarter of an inch (6 mm) per day. By the end of August, the wetland is dry and remains so until the following rainy season. Situated on land that was set aside for oil production in 1924, Madrona Marsh was never developed while the city grew up around the site and remains a valuable natural habitat for birds, reptiles, insects and small mammals.Ongoing efforts are restoring native plants including wildflowers. Plantings may benefit local butterfly species including the Palos Verdes blue. The area has long been popular with bird watchers and The Audubon Society has used Madrona Marsh for their annual bird census since 1967. El Camino College uses it as an outdoor biology and botany lab. The Madrona Marsh Nature Center is operated by the City of Torrance in cooperation with the Friends of the Madrona Marsh. Activities include bird and nature walks, natural history classes and workshops, habitat restoration, science and astronomy programs, art exhibits, and children's nature programs. The center opened in 2001 and features exhibits about the plants, birds and animals of the marsh. The nature center for the Preserve is across the street.

José Dolores Sepúlveda Adobe
José Dolores Sepúlveda Adobe

Jose Dolores Sepulveda Adobe is an adobe home built in 1818. It is located at the Rancho de los Palos Verdes in Torrance, California. The Jose Dolores Sepulveda Adobe was designated a California Historic Landmark (No. 383) on Jan. 03, 1944. The Jose Dolores Sepulveda Adobe was built by José Dolores Sepúlveda de Redondo, his son was Mayor of Los Angeles from 1837 to 1848. José Dolores Sepúlveda's father was José Loreto Sepúlveda (1764–1808). The location is now a private residence in Torrance. The original Adobe is gone, but the current homeowner renovated the house to reflect the Rancho history. Rancho de los Palos Verdes means "range of green trees". The Rancho is now the present-day cities of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, as well as portions of San Pedro and Torrance.José Dolores Sepúlveda (March 23, 1793–1824) was one of the sons of Juan José Sepúlveda (1764–1808). In 1784, the Spanish Crown deeded Rancho San Pedro, a tract of over 75,000 acres (300 km2), to soldier Juan José Domínguez. Domínguez died in 1809, and in 1810 the executor of his will, Manuel Gutiérrez, granted permission to then 17-year-old Sepúlveda to herd livestock in the southwestern reaches of Rancho San Pedro. This eventually became the basis for the Sepúlveda family's contested claim to the Rancho de los Palos Verdes, carved out of Rancho San Pedro lands. Dolores went to Monterey to settle his land title, but on his return trip in 1824 he was killed in the Chumash revolt at Mission La Purísima Concepción. In 1834, Governor José Figueroa made a judicial decree intended to settle the dispute between the Domínguez and Sepúlveda families, awarding the 31,629-acre (128 km2) Rancho de los Palos Verdes to Juan Capistrano Sepúlveda and José Loreto Sepúlveda. José Dolores Sepúlveda married María Ignacia Marcia Ávila (1793 - ?) on November 8, 1813, at Mission San Gabriel Arcángel.
