Balboa Park Horticultural Tours: Eucalyptus: Origins, Invasion, and Urban Tales

Saturday, February 8, 2025 from 10 AM to 11:30 AM
Balboa Park Visitors Center
All Ages
Free

Ninety-five percent of the more than 800 eucalyptus species are native to Australia, New Zealand, and nearby Southeast Asian Islands. This tour examines how and why they became one of the most common coastal trees in California and why they inspire such passionate debate among their supporters and detractors.

Forever Balboa Park offers thematic park tours that focus on the park’s unique biodiversity and highlight the park’s horticultural wonders on the second Saturday of each month. Led by park volunteer and horticultural enthusiast Bill Edwards, the free tours leave from the Visitors Center at 10 a.m. unless otherwise indicated. Walks last 90 minutes and are typically less than 1 mile on level terrain. It is advised that potential attendees contact the Balboa Park Visitors Center prior to the scheduled walk to determine if there are any last-minute changes or cancellations to the tours.
