Alameda Manzanitas (Arctostaphylos pallida) are flowering in El Sobrante!

One of my favorite rare native species. They are found in just a few groves in the hills between Oakland and Pinole.

“It's really disappointing to have a sewage spill of this magnitude,” Baykeeper Director Sejal Choksi-Chugh told KQED of the #sewage leak in #ElSobrante, “It's a lot to go unnoticed for almost two weeks.” https://www.kqed.org/news/11953475/500000-gallon-sewage-leak-in-el-sobrante-was-preventable

El Sobrante's nearby San Pablo Creek was affected as raw sewage spilled from a maintenance hole. Household items causing blockage are to blame.
