Malheur National Forest
June 23, 2003
The area studied was the riparian area along with some of the upland area within 100 feet of the creek from FS Rd 4310 downstream to the meadows. The meadow is well-fenced and appears to be grazed at a later part of the year. The creek itself appears to be a seasonal creek, and was dry at this time.
