Palos Vardes Nature, along with the Abbalon Cove Park and Reserve, will be closed for the public for 48 hours or more amid three days of rain, officials announced on Monday, 19 February.
A historic landmark, a historic landmark in Rancho Palos Words, closed the land movement due to intensifying the land movement, the latest evidence of the impact of storms in 2023 and a series of storms this year.
According to city officials, Rancho Palos Vardes has discontinued popular hiking trails about eight miles due to the land movement, including sink holes, unstable trails and surfaces, erosion, steep rocks and falling rocks.
According to an Instagram post in the city on Monday morning, “This (Palos Words Nature Protection) may remain closed for 48 hours or more for public safety and to prevent further scar erosion.”
In the past, the trails have also been closed in the Philosome Reserve, Forest Reserve, Ocean Trails Reserve and Portuguese Bend Reserve.
On 15 February, Waferrs Chapel and city officials announced that the historic site would be closed indefinitely as cracks in the church floor and glass dann have increased significantly in recent months.
In its Tuesday, February 20 meeting, RPV Municipal Council will discuss the proposed Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation Project. A draft environmental impact report on the project was released in February 2023, and focus on therapeutic efforts to slow down the land movement, which has greatly increased in the previous year.
