Location Narrative	This site is on the first mile off of the Pt. Defiance Trail, upland route. It was once ranchland and is now a well-used State park. The large patches of Nassella pulchra and Melica make it stand out. I have heard that they have done some restoration here, planted or seeded the grassland, although this has not been confirmed. These patches of native grasses repeat.
