Event Details

Genevieve Arnold, Seed Program Manager, Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers & Native Plants will be speaking at the first of our lecture series which is in partnership with the Los Feliz Branch Library.

Arnold will touch on aspects of why seed banking is so important. As she says, Southern California is home to the most diverse plant life in the U.S. and is considered a world-recognized biodiversity hotspot. This means that precious urban wildland interface areas are threatened by the influences of megadroughts, increased fire threat as well as continued urban development.

Griffith Park is not only one of the largest urban wilderness parks in the U.S., serving the second most populous city in the nation; it also boasts amazing biodiversity that places it at a level of global significance biologically. The presentation will highlight local seed banking efforts designed to preserve this treasured local ecosystem.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Genevieve was trained in conservation seed banking at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, where she served as Seed Program Technician and Research Plant Collections Technician. She has spent the past several years as Theodore Payne Foundation’s Seed Program Manager, where she has implemented the Long Live L.A. Parks Collaborative Conservation Seed Bank and serves as a core member of the regional Seed LA collaborative. In addition to a passion for conservation, she enjoys the unique and artful beauty of native plants in the wild and in the garden, in all their phases – including the intricate and fascinating stages of fruit and seed development.

FoGP has never volunteered at this venue before so this is pretty exciting.

This is kinda cool for anyone interested in how natives are propagated & planted in Griffith Park.

Volunteers will be mixing soil and transplanting seedlings into larger pots for future plantings for the Park.

Come dressed for the mess… wear comfortable clothing, shoes and don’t forget a hat and sunscreen.

Kids are always welcome!

Speaker Jorge Ochoa is back

Event Details

Speaker Jorge Ochoa is back to discuss the latest science on how fires regularly affect this vast wilderness. The 2018 brush fire of 63 acres in Griffith Park’s Condor Canyon give us yet another living laboratory to study devastation and recovery.

If you’ve heard any of his previous talks, or taken a stroll with Jorge in Griffith Park, the first thing that comes to mind is his passion combined with his willingness to share his extensive knowledge about flora found in Griffith Park. Flora from the Latin means goddess of the flower and refers to plant life occurring in a particular region or time—generally the naturally occurring or indigenous—native plant life.
Bottom line, you’re in for a real treat if you come to this lecture.

Currently Jorge Ochoa works in the Department of Horticulture at Long Beach City College. In his spare time, Jorge does research in horticulture as well as the Plant genus Passiflora. Occasionally you might stumble across him as he meanders through areas of Griffith Park looking for the unexpected surprises only found in this Parkland.
