About Business: Chaparral is California’s most distinctive wildland. Characterized by drought-tolerant, woody shrubs, high intensity, infrequent fire, and shaped by a Mediterranean-type climate (hot, dry summers & mild, wet winters), chaparral covers most of California’s coastal foothills and interior mountain slopes. Grouping together the various chaparral types along the west coast of North America forms the California Chaparral Biome.
