Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is one of San Diego’s jewels, and after years of drought and the ravages of bark beetles, the iconic pines are dying off at an alarming rate.It is home to a collection of wild creatures not seen in urban areas and breathtaking vistas of earth, sky and ocean.
Smith needed help. At the suggestion of park volunteer Rick Gulley, now president of the Torrey Pines Conservancy, Smith reached out to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance that has both local interest and scientific skills needed to help find answers. Darren Smith, senior environmental scientist, examines a young Torrey pine that is surrounded by trees that died.
Ultimate answers will likely involve a suite of solutions, and as climate continues to change, there may be species that will disappear from the reserve.Past efforts were often emotion driven. Visitors love the beauty and unique quality of the twisted pines and often participated in well-meaning efforts to plant new trees.
