Organic First Approach to Land Management
The Cove Collective urges the the cities of the Palos Verdes Peninsula to adopt an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan that will make an organic first policy in our public spaces. The city of Palos Verdes Estates is leading by example with their commitment to reducing the use of harmful chemicals along city trails and parklands. What is Organic First? It means the city landscape maintenance plan will encourage organic approaches to managing weed/plant growth and discourage the use of herbicides and pesticides. Many cities in Southern California have adopted this approach including Manhattan Beach, Malibu, Irvine, Mission Viejo, Costa Mesa, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano.

Educational Programs
We believe in teaching the community about local ecosystems, encouraging stewardship through hands-on workshops, and working with our partner organizations for experiences in our local environment.
The Cove Collective is about community. Whether we are in the water surfing, diving, or paddling, or hiking on our local trails, stewardship is stronger through educating others, and making it a group effort. Come join us at one of our events to learn how you can be a steward of our environment.
If your group is interested in participating in an upcoming beach clean-up or educational program, or co-sponsoring an event, please contact us for more information.
