Location Narrative	Cow Creek Ranch is a Shasta Land Trust easement property. This is a patchy (dense to sparse cover) stand of Ceanothus cuneatus on a volcanic plateau. The stand is dotted with openings consisting of varying dominance of weedy grasses and native herbs. There are some Quercus douglasii in the stand and C. cuneatus is toward the decadent end of the S3 decadence class.
