Location Narrative	Leininger Ranch is an easement of The Nature Conservancy. The stand is a mature juniper (10 m canopy diameter) along an intermittent creek, now dry, with scattered oaks mixing in from adjacent blue oak stand. The stand is small (50 m stretch of this creek). The herb understory is mostly non-native grasses, forbs, and essentially continuous with the adjacent blue oak savanna.
