Lupe shared this photo from yesterday when workers were harvesting strawberries in heavy smoke from the Hughes Fire in Ventura County. The AQI exceeded 150 in some areas. The AQI is lower today, but winds are expected to pick up this afternoon. #WeFeedYou

This is my beloved green space nestled in a neighborhood. It’s in an area that is within the fire-prone California landscape. I treat each visit like it was my last.
