First Impressions
Horticulturalist and writer Kevin Philip Williams walks through a shrubland in San Bruno Mountain State and County Park, California, with San Francisco in the distance. "Shrublands," Williams and Michael Guidi share in their 2024 book Shrouded in Light, "have some of the highest animal biodiversity outside the tropics, partially owing to their complex vegetation structure that allows them to harbor high numbers of plants and animals."
