Location Narrative |
Cow Creek Ranch is a Shasta Land Trust easement property. This Rapid Assessment survey describes the open woodland covering the majority of this plateau (Deer Flat/Shady Oaks). It is dominated by many large widely spaced Quercus douglasii and Pinus sabiniana. There is also a fair amount of young regenerating Quercus douglasii and Pinus sabiniana saplings throughout. The herb layer is alternating annual grassland hummocks and native forb-dominated swales. There are wild pigs in the stand.
