Author Location	JS and Cow Creek Partnership Ranches, Shasta County
Location Narrative	This site is located on the northern portion of the Cow Creek Ranch, just north of Whitmore Rd. The stand consists of herbaceous vegetation growing in a vernally wet depression (very slight). The dominant species is Navarretia leucocephala. This vegetation repeats sparsely across this plateau with the Vernally Wet Herbaceous (Lasthenia californica association) type more common in the swales/depressions. The upland vegetation is dominated by exotic grasses- see SNNR0818 for upland vegetation; This site is actively grazed by cattle, and is under a conservation easement with the Shasta Land Trust.
