A construction company and other private landowners own much of the land surrounding the park. The drought is over, infected trees have been removed, and an intensive beetle management program has stemmed the outbreak. However, the NNL remains damaged from such a significant loss of this extremely rare tree. An aggressive campaign of planting Torrey Pine seedlings began in 1994 with over 500 seedlings, of which 51 survived. In 1997, another series of 147 seedlings were planted.
Planting continues, with a goal of producing multiple-age stands approximating natural growth.
Prescribed burns have significantly benefited the growth and survival of young trees. California's Natural Communities Conservation Plan terrestrial vertebrate survey has established a baseline inventory for Torrey pines within the preserve, and based upon the reports received, has begun monitoring reptiles, birds, and mammals. Non-native plants, including Eucalyptus, ivy, and Arundo, continue to be a problem. The state has received funds for removal projects. Long-term concerns are being discussed, including the effects of air pollution and climate change.
