The Bixby Marshland was restored by the Sanitation Districts and reopened to the public in 2009. Since the marsh has been rejuvenated, a large variety of plants, birds, fish, and animals call the Bixby Marshland home including 110 plants , 69 bird species (including ducks, herons, egrets, coots, hummingbirds and more), and 84 wildlife species, including Baja California treefrogs and the common side-blotched lizards. Come and learn why this marsh is important to LA's waterways. All Sanitation Districts' events are free and open to the public.
