When does a tree that seems to be able to provide so much good become a tree that is reviled for causing so much harm? Today’s subject is the beach sheoak (Casuarina equisetifolia) a tree that is loved and loathed by many, including the Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) of Keewaydin Island, where some well-meaning locals caused harm to the local sea turtle population in an effort to stay the gulf winds.
