Location Narrative	Morales Ranch is an easement of the American River Conservancy. This stand is just over an acre and occupies most of the NE facing slope which leads to a small, dry drainage. The understory is mostly open and the canopy is complex and has several layers. There are some mature Pinus ponderosa with very large DBH, and many mature, multi-stemmed Quercus chrysolepis. Young Calocedrus decurrens, and Acer macrophyllum constitute the lower canopy.
