"Coastal Sage Scrub Walk" with Wayne Armstrong

The coastal sage scrub is a unique wildlife habitat in southern California composed of many species of plants and animals. Although it once covered vast areas of coastal San Diego County, it has been greatly reduced to small, isolated areas, primarily due to extensive urbanization during the past three decades. It is quite distinct from chaparral, and is now considered an endangered plant community.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
