The California black walnut (Juglans californica) is a native tree species found in Southern California. Once common throughout portions of the Los Angeles region, urban development and habitat loss have significantly reduced its historic range. Despite these challenges, black walnut woodlands continue to provide important habitat for birds, insects, mammals, and native plants.

Native Wildlife Featured in the Mural

Mockingbird, towhee, scrub jay, grey squirrel, bumblebee, monarch butterfly
