Location Narrative  |
Hwy 140 and adjacent lands, Mariposa County: This is a large stand of fairly typical Quercus douglasii woodland with the herbaceous layer dominated by exotic grasses. The stand extends in all directions for some distance with some open grassy patches interspersed. The oaks are large, mature and mostly even-aged. There are no shrubs and oak seedlings. There is active cattle grazing and reports of wild pigs on the site but no evidence of the pigs was observed.
