Wild Flora and Fauna of Griffith Park with Jorge Ochoa

An armchair tour of Griffith Park – our nation’s largest urban park, located at the western end of the Santa Monica Mountains, and site of a major fire in 2007. The fire provided the opportunity to survey native flora long-hidden by invasive non-native vegetation and led to the rediscovery of native species not seen for many years, as well as discovery of previously unrecorded plants. These plants and various associated animals are showcased in the talk. Jorge holds degrees in horticulture from Long Beach City College and Cal Poly Pomona. While working for the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, he helped study and catalogue the native flora of Griffith Park. He is currently lead instructor for the Long Beach City College horticulture program.
