The dirty needles can be found scattered among the pine and brush, littering the forest floor around Eureka, California, a town long celebrated as a gateway to the scenic Redwood Empire. They are the debris of a growing heroin scourge that is gripping the remote community. California has one of the lowest overall #opioid-related death rates in the U.S., but there has been a sharp rise in heroin use across the rural north. The problem is exacerbated in Eureka by a sizable homeless population that’s growing amid an extreme lack of affordable housing and a changing, weakened economy that relies heavily on tourism. Now those problems are spilling into public view. Syringe litter has become a significant flash point for the town’s middle-class residents, particularly because tourism is so important for Eureka. “Everybody wants to focus on syringes instead of lives,” said Brandie Wilson, the founder for a organization that distributes clean needles. @maxwhittaker took this photo of a discarded needle behind the town’s public library.
