Native Trees of Mission Trails Regional Park

Created by the Mission Trails Regional Park (MTRP) Foundation in honor of California Clean Air Day, this video provides an overview of some of the most common native trees at Mission Trails Regional Park, located in San Diego County. The video's host is MTRP Ranger Heidi Gutknecht, who discusses how crucially important trees are in improving air quality, and she shares characteristics about the trees and which can be grown in residential environments. In addition, Ranger Heidi discusses the trees' uses by the Kumeyaay people.

This video was funded by the Coalition for Clean Air and SDG&E and produced by the MTRP Foundation. Camera and editing by Darren Kawasaki.
