| Location Narrative |
This plot is located in the area of the Cow Creek Ranch map named "Shady Oaks" about 100 meters south of the junction of Lion Tree Rd and Shady Oaks Rd and is located just to the east of the road. The plot is on the edge of a shallow depression in the middle of an open blue oak-foothill pine woodland. The depression is part of a complex of hummocks and swales on this whole plateau. Some of the swales are wetter (including this one) and can be considered vernal pools. Certain species such as Downingia, Mimulus tricolor, and Psilocarphus would also suggest such designation.; The site is grazed and there is some hoof print evidence to suggest that cows were here this year. If they were, however, they did not reside in the area for a long time. The worst damage is from feral pigs "rooting" in the moist soil.
