EcologyEdit
Comanche Point and the rest of the Tejon Hills are on the Tejon Ranch, in the section managed by the Tejon Ranch Conservancy.
There are natural alkali springs and marshes on Comanche Point and the alkaline uplifted marine sediment deposits that form it, which support locally and regionally endemic and rare California native plants (flora).
The major threats to the areas rare flora and fauna are overgrazing, rooting feral pigs, and invasive plant species.
