Location Narrative	SE of Stanislaus Rver, south of end of Beckwith Rd. Stand may not be visible from aerial photo. A quite open stand characterized by Silybum understory and open Acer overstory. An Acer in the center of the stand has had a couple large branches broken off, creating considerable downed wood. The stand edges roughly follow where denser tree cover begins. Rubus mainly found in patch in N part of stand, Ribes and Sambucus mixed in with Silybum. Silybum in dense patches, some mixed Silybum/Bromus patches and some pure Bromus patches.
