LPFA TRAIL TALK IV
Grizzly Bears, Condors and Chaparral
Presented by: Rick HalseyOnce home to the California grizzly bear and the California condor’s last refuge, the chaparral remains one of the most misunderstood and under-appreciated ecosystems on Earth. Threatened by fire and habitat fragmentation, chaparral represents one of our last opportunities to preserve biodiversity and wildness in our state. Since the Los Padres National Forest protects some the largest, most contiguous stands of chaparral in California, it offers a unique opportunity for citizens to not only to enjoy wild California, but to protect what’s left. Join us as we explore the chaparral’s unique natural history, discuss its fascinating wildlife populations, and reveal some of the major misconceptions many hold about California’s most characteristic ecosystem.
