Guy Fleming

Guy L. Fleming (May 27, 1884 – May 15, 1960) was an American naturalist whose conservation work led to the founding of Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, now a 2000-acre protected coastal area of La Jolla, San Diego.

His work caught the attention of former San Diego County Horticultural Commissioner and chairman of the advisory board for the Little Landers, George P. Hall,[8] who encouraged Fleming to study botany.

Working with landscape architect Ralph D. Cornell, Fleming developed plans[1] to preserve the Torrey pines on both the city and Scripps properties, proposing a nature park for the area.

He participated in study of pines in Baja California and of the proposed Kings Canyon National Park region and conducted a timber survey of Cuyamaca.

Their home, the Guy and Margaret Fleming House, also known as Torrey Pines Reserve Ranger Residence, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in June 1998.
