Chaparral Plant Community Info

Beautiful Torrey Pines state park overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, city of Del Mar. The Torrey Pine is a rare conifer tree that only grows in this habitat and a few islands off the California coast. Endangered (species nearly extinct) due to habitat loss. Much of chaparral in the region is removed in case it should catch fire, and endanger the increasing number of housing tracts.
