I was absolutely amazed- stunned when I drove on the road through Montana de Oro State Park. There is like a full-on forest of big Eucalyptus trees. At first I thought it was very pretty but quickly it hit me. Not one of those trees is "supposed" to be there. I imagine there would be oaks there instead. The darn Eucalyptus have than sap/resin that has those chemicals that kills off the native stuff, and there wood is s***. Breaks off in wind storms. Big hazard there. And they are super flammable with that resin. Another big hazard.
All that gold-colored foxtail grass (well, it is green now in SLO) is non-native, too. Brought over as seeds in the hooves of spanish livestock from what I hear.
