This is an earleaf acacia tree (graduate student for scale). It is an invasive from Australia. Nearly every limb was ripped off of this formerly 15 ft tree by a tornado spawned by Hurricane Milton on Oct. 9, 2024. The fast growth rate of these trees are one reason they are problematic. #plantnative

Norma is working harvesting strawberries in Salinas, CA. It's already a difficult job but she worries at this time of year. "We only work a few hours a week because the season is ending. I have to do it to support my family." #WeFeedYou
