About this Event
Discover the unique beauty and resilience of chaparral, a plant community found in only a few places globally and iconic to Southern California’s landscapes.
This class explores what it means to live in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), where homes, workplaces, and communities meet rugged chaparral-covered hillsides. We’ll debunk common misconceptions, highlight some of the most cherished chaparral plant species, and celebrate how this vital ecosystem supports biodiversity, wildlife, and our own communities.
The class includes a short walk through the Theodore Payne Foundation’s demonstration garden, where you can see firsthand how chaparral plants thrive in local landscapes. Perfect for anyone curious about the natural world around them!
