Here there is a marshy meadow on sierra in which there is a rank growth of grass and herbs. On the upper portion of the meadow there are several thickets of Coast Redwood. The coniferous trees consist of Sugar pine, Redwood White fir, Yellow Pine and Cedar. Other trees and shrubs that I recognized were California Oak, Ceanothus cuneatus, and Margarita. Wilson Creek is a very small stream which originates in the sierra near camp. The soil is a dark well weathered granitic type.
