 KPFA volunteer, contributor, and activist Pete Hunter has recently passed away after a long battle with cancer. Apart from Pete's incredible dedication as a phone volunteer at KPFA, Pete was also interested in activist video media, as well as Alternative Fuel Vehicles. "Pete loved KPFA and everyone who was willing to stand up and save our country,the world and the animal kingdom as well. Pete walked his talk and will be missed," said Pete's friend, Jovita Bazan-Lopez.

 A group of KPFA volunteers who help with maintenance at our East Bay transmitter site are asking for listener help in identifying some of the shrubs around the site. They would like to replace some of the invasive brush at the site with California Native plants!
We have posted photos of the plants online. Here's the challenge:
(1) Can you identify the plants in the photos?
(2) If so, can you tell which plants are native to California?
If you think you can help, email your plant identifications to Eden Tosch at: eden[at]kpfa.org
