Upper Filiorum Property

Rancho Palos Verdes recently acquired 191 acres of land to become part of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. The property purchased from York Long Point Associates for $6.5 million included a $5.5 million grant from the California State Coastal Conservancy earmarked in a voter approved open space bond and $600,000 from the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.

The land is owned by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes which provided a conservation easement to the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy. Initially, the incorporation process will require a survey of the new land to document baseline conditions of the habitat at the time of acquisition. This is necessary for the conservation easement, which is an important tool for protecting the public values of land and the cornerstone of effective conservation.

The Land Conservancy will work with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to finalize a trail plan, install signage and create a new trail map to guide users, who will now have contiguous access from the Forrestal Reserve on the East to the Three Sisters Reserve on the West.


Trail Etiquette

Yield to all others
Stop for horses & move to the downhill side of the trail.
Horses are easily frightened, so ask the rider what to do!
Slow or stop for hikers. Ask if it's okay to pass.

Stay on trails designated for bikes
Trail signs have been posted and sheriffs are patrolling.
  If there is no sign, the trail is closed to all users.
  Obey all reserve rules.
  All cyclists will be judged by your actions!

Do not make new trails or jumps
This is an ecological reserve, not a vacant lot.
Destruction of habitat will not be tolerated.

Never speed past anyone
