Native plant demonstration garden encircled the visitor’s center of the Madrona Marsh preserve. The Madrona Marsh is 43 acres of marshland left undeveloped as it was intended to be used for oil drilling that never happened. It is now an important bird preserve, and home to what is possibly the world’s rarest butterfly, the Palos Verdes blue.
