Author Location	Denny Ranch, TNC Easement
Location Narrative	Southern Portion of Denny Ranch in Tehama County: This stand is a Blue Oak Savannah with a "bouldery" substrate and native forb and grass dominated herb layer. The blue oaks are widely spread and stunted due to the thin volcanic soils. The soil is super saturated due to recent rain.
