Many ecologists say that coastal live oaks create the richest diversity of life forms of any non aquatic environment in California. The oak grove we are trying to save has been harmed by humans but is still very much alive. The ground is scraped clean and allmost all of the smaller plant, bushes and seedlings have been cut and asphalt paths put in everywhere but still many life forms find a home.
