Location Narrative |
Stand located ~ 150 m from cattle fence at entrance of McCabe Canyon outside M. Francis' property. Land acquired from BLM in 2000. Past & current grazing. No evidence of fire. Microtopography not linear, but not really rounded. In this part of canyon, the creek disappears and resumes farther SE. There are braids of exposed sand. Plot is very representative of stand. Lots of wild tarragon with California buckwheat and wooly Yerba Santa. Surrounded by three large pines. Area not covered by subshrubs is covered by non-native grasses. Gentle slope of ~ 4, heading to SE. No distinguishing characteristics. Cattle trails throughout the plot.
