Location Narrative |
The stand is located near the southern boundary of the Red Hills Area of Critical Environmental Concern, about 1 km east of the BLM parking area off Old Don Pedro Road. The stand is on a north-facing slope across the small creek, 200 m from the gated BLM road accessed from the parking area. The stand is dominated by Pinus sabiniana in the overstory, with a shrub layer of Arctostaphylos viscida and Heteromeles arbutifolia. The herbaceous layer has abundant Melica californica and Calochortus albus, as well as some introduced grasses.; There are fire scars on the trees, but the shrub layer indicates that the fire was either low intensity or not recent.
