Location Narrative ? Mixed stand of Pinus ponderosa and Pinus radiata over Arctostaphylos viscida. The pines are relatively young and the stand is in somewhat of a transitional state. There are large patches of Chamaebatia within the stand. The Pinus radiata appears to have naturalized from what appears to be a small plantation about 1 km away.
