Treehuggers International’s recent conversation with Darren Smith, Resource Ecologist with California State Parks and the Natural Resources Program Manager for Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, is now available at the Show Archive page. Learn about threats facing the reserve from invasive species and invisible-to-the-naked eye effects of urbanization, how Torrey Pines remains a remnant of the rapidly vanishing native Southern California coastal ecosystem, and get the scoop on San Diego’s most revered tree, which lends it’s name to a school, a road, businesses, even a gliderport!
