3. About The Palos Verdes
Pastoral
 The Palos Verdes Pastoral takes the novel form
of an outdoor feast and focuses on providing
guests with a unique garden-to-table dining
experience among the natural beauty of the
Palos Verdes area. The exact location of the
event changes from year to year, showcasing the
splendor of local beaches, cliffs, fields, and
canyons. The dinner is an important occasion for
the Conservancy to educate the attending public
about the work it does in stewarding
open, undeveloped spaces in the area. The
juxtaposition of the event with unique
environmental aspects of Palos Verdes
highlights, in a particularly striking fashion, the
role that the organization plays in preserving
local habitats.
