Protect The Earth

Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is home to approximately 3,000 of our nation's rarest pine tree—Pinus torreyana, which only grows here and on Santa Rosa Island off the coast near Santa Barbara.

 

The Torrey pine, Pinus torreyana, is the rarest pine species in the United States, an endangered species growing along the coast of San Diego County and on two of the Channel Islands.

 

A Torrey Pine cannot be cut, transplanted, or removed without application for and receipt of a special permit, and potential professional review by the City Arborist. If a permit is issued, there is an appeals process available to neighbors and members of the public who disagree.

 

“The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries

and the adventure of experience in nature.”

~ Ansel Adams
