Cronan Ranch. The plot is located at the southern end of the parcel, on a northeast-facing slope between an unnamed access road (heading towards Salmon Falls) and the South Fork of the American River. The overstory is a mix of interior live oak, blue oak, and valley oak, with a shrub understory of poison oak, pipe vine, and scotch broom. Blue wild rye is consistent throughout the herb layer.; Historical grazing ended a year ago with the acquisition of the parcel by the American River Conservancy.
