Author Location	Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve
Location Narrative	Big Chico Creek ER, California State University Chico: This is a smaller Douglas-fir stand on a steep north facing slope. The 1999 fire cleared out some of the Pseudotsuga menziesii overstory and some of the hardwood understory. The Douglas-firs are a mix of young and mature trees, but there are not many saplings.
