As we reach the end of CA Native Plant Week and Ea

As we reach the end of CA Native Plant Week and Earth Week, we wanted to make a post in honor of Coast Live Oaks 💚🌳🌿 Please read this statement by our Communications and Volunteers Manager, @dthat, about these magical trees and how they support native ecosystems!
~~~
Coast Live Oaks sprout gnarled branches at odd angles from their black trunks, spreading patterned shade over the woodlands they create and inhabit. The adult trees grow up to 30 to 75 feet over a teeming understory of poison oaks, Hummingbird sage, and annual grasses which must seem, from the perspective of the trees, in constant flux. An individual oak may live for over a thousand years, and these older oaks sustain a diverse ecosystem of 5,000 insect species, 80 species of reptiles and amphibians, and over 160 species of birds and mammals, all interconnected in a network of networks, ceaselessly whirling away in the air, on the branches, under leaves, and in the soil.

Coast Live Oaks cannot but evoke wonder and curiosity in anyone who passes under them, and wonder and curiosity need to be part of what motivates us in what might dramatically but accurately be called the great project of our time -- to prevent the incredible tangled diversity of life on this planet from vanishing away, to sustain what remains, and to regenerate and create something better.
