The Bixby Marshland is a remnant of a formerly extensive, natural-freshwater wetland known as Bixby Slough. Over the years, most of Bixby Slough was destroyed due to development.

To restore the Bixby Marshland, the site was vegetated with a large number of native plants and regraded to improve the flow of water. A pump was installed to lift storm water and urban runoff from Wilmington Drain into the marshland. After going through the marshland, the water exits back into Wilmington Drain. Through this restoration effort, the site has been rejuvenated, renewing the marshland’s health and increasing its value to wildlife.

The marshland is open to the public the first Saturday of each month from 8am to 12pm.  Docents are on site to provide tours to those interested, or self-guided tours are also available.  Tours for groups may also be scheduled by appointment.  To schedule a tour, please call (562) 908-4288, ext. 2301.
