Madrona Marsh Preserve & Nature Center

Madrona Marsh Preserve is thought to be one of the last seasonal freshwater marsh in Los Angeles County. More than 260 native birds, 300 plants, 31 butterflies, 21 dragonflies, and hundreds of insect species have been documented on the Preserve over the past 35 years. Because of the efforts of the City of Torrance staff, Friends of Madrona Marsh, and thousands of local volunteers, Madrona is a thriving ecosystem right in the heart of Torrance California. It is a jewel of the City and well worth a visit. 

Both the Preserve and Nature Center are open Tuesday - Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Free parking. For more information call (310) 782-3989 or email us at nature1@torranceca.gov
