Canyon View Preserve and adjacent Auburn State Recreation Area lands: This is a dense stand of large Quercus chrysolepis and Quercus kelloggii growing on a north-facing slope. There are many Pinus ponderosa and also some Pseudotsuga menziesii mixed in. The shrub layer is dense, consisting mostly of Toxicodendron diversilobum and Heteromeles arbutifolia. The herb layer is sparse. The oaks are more or less single-stemmed and the Arctostaphylos viscida are large and decadent.
