Location Narrative  |
These properties are part of Placer Legacy, county open space and habitat protection program. This site was a part of a ranch which was historically grazed and harvested for firewood. Old road/trail on edge of stand. Yellow breasted chat heard infrequently. This riparian stand is dominated by large valley oaks with a solid, impenetrable Rubus discolor understory. We couldn't get close enough to the Salix to identify it, but it was either S. lasiolepis or S. laevigata. There was a similar stand across the creek. This was a very narrow stand and the Alnus and Salix mixed somewhat with the oaks so I included them as one stand.
