Location Narrative	Wildcat Ranch and Pelton Property: This stand is a thin band of Alnus rhombifolia with a Rubus discolor understory growing on both sides of a large, perennial creek. There are a few over-hanging trees (Quercus lobata and Populus fremontii) from adjacent stands. The herb layer is sparse. The stand, as assessed, is a band 1-5 m wide on both sides of the creek that is dominated by A. rhombifolia.
