Location Narrative	Morales Ranch is an easement of the American River Conservancy. This is a multi-aged Pinus ponderosa dominated stand with some Quercus wislizeni on the down slope edge. There is evidence of wood cutting, but it is minimal, and it probably took place a long time ago. The understory is dense with the Toxicodendron diversilobum and Carduus pycnocephalus clustered around the base of the Pinus ponderosa individuals, and the grasses in the open areas.
