Coyote Brush (Baccharis pilularis) is a native and tenacious shrub widely distributed along the coast of California and parts of Oregon. This woody shrub is recognized for its dense, evergreen foliage and small, inconspicuous greenish-white flowers that appear in late summer and fall, contributing to its ecological importance. In addition to its ability to thrive in a variety of environmental conditions, Coyote Brush plays a vital role in supporting wildlife, offering food and shelter to numerous bird species and insects. Its adaptability, resilience, and ecological significance make it a valuable component of coastal ecosystems and natural landscapes in the western United States.
