Location Narrative ? Young (average 10 inch diameter) Quercus kelloggii dominate with a few Quercus wislizeni over thick young Heteromeles arbutifolia and 0.5 m -1.5 m Arctostaphylos viscida. Charred wood suggests recent fire through narrow swath heading down canyon towards American River (perhaps controlled burn?). Occasional cut stumps. Trail cuts the stand near top of ridge on steep north-facing slope. Trees are leafed out but still early.
