A SENSE OF PLACE
CAMP DE BENNEVILLE PINES IN ITS NATURAL SETTING

This little booklet is intended as an introduction to the natural environment which surrounds Camp de Benneville Pines. Placing the camp in its geographical, geological and ecological setting, it also serves as a guide to some of the plants, animals and rocks to be found within the boundaries of the camp as well as in a few places frequented by campers, namely the lower reaches of the Forsee Creek Trail, the Johns Meadow Trail, the banks of Barton Creek (affectionately referred to by campers as “the Stream”) and the popular hike to Jenks Lake. Take this with you, explore around and enjoy “the good tidings” of the mountains and the forest.
Fernando Peñalosa is a retired university professor, an enthusiastic Camp de Benneville Pines camper and a long-time member of Pacific Unitarian Church in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.
