Author Location	Wurlitzer Ranch
Location Narrative	Wurlitzer Ranch lies in both Tehama and Butte Counties. Small riparian stand of incense cedar and canyon live oak on the south bank of Pine Creek. There is a dense understory of Cornus, Calycanthus, and Umbellularia. This is a distance survey from across the creek, as the creek is not crossable for a long stretch near the stand. A fire in 1991 may have burned the understory.
