Author Location	JS and Cow Creek Partnership Ranches, Shasta County
Location Narrative	Located in the eastern portion of the Cow Creek Ranch, the plot consists of herbaceous vegetation growing along a seep/spring. The stand is near a ridge top. The vegetation is dominated by Mimulus guttatus and various monocots (Eleocharis sp., Lolium perenne, etc.). A small amount of flowing water is present in the southern portion of the plot. The soil is very peaty, and seems to consist mostly of partially decomposed plant matter.; This site is actively grazed by cattle, and there is some damage to this area. This property is under a conservation easement.
