Location Narrative	Cow Creek Ranch is a Shasta Land Trust easement property. Ridgetop woodland mostly dominated by Quercus kelloggii. It may have been much more dense at one time and may have been cleared, but long ago as there are no stumps. The understory contains saplings of Quercus kelloggii, Quercus douglasii, and Pinus sabiniana, as well as Umbellularia (from neighboring stand). The shrub layer is thick with tall poison oak and the herbaceous layer is sparse with a thick litter layer and moss-covered rocks.
