There are several things that can be done to help this species. Wildfire prevention efforts are critical for the survival of Tecate cypress. It tends to do well under controlled cultivation and has attracted attention from horticulturists who are lucky enough to acquire germinated seeds, ensuring the tree’s survival in controlled environments. Large-scale habitat restoration projects on the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks aim towards a healthier, more resilient habitat, which is good for Tecate cypress and the ecosystem it belongs to.
