Location Narrative	Cow Creek Ranch is a Shasta Land Trust easement property. This stand consists of widely spaced, large Quercus douglasii with many (hundreds) of sapling Quercus douglasii measuring 1-5 meters distributed throughout the stand. Very few shrubs present. Herbaceous layer is dominated by exotics with significant cover of Lasthenia californica. Most of the regenerating Quercus douglasii occur in the gaps in the mature Quercus douglasii canopy.
