Threatened California Oaks

Living on Earth
The World

Cy Musiker reports on efforts to preserve California’s oak trees, once some of the most common species in the state. Over a million acres of oak woodland have been felled by developers and ranchers over the past forty years, and early research indicates that some species may not be regenerating. Now a restoration project by the University of California is gaining the support of private landowners.
