Trees marked in blue by students for harvest in the SE portion of PMF. The desired future condition in this area is an open park-like stand primarily consisting of native pine, incense cedar, and white/black/live oak with native bunchgrasses and shrub species associates. This is likely the historical condition in this valley floor area, though early pine harvesting and fire suppression have probably led to dominance by Douglas-fir, which is subject to insect infestation during dry periods such as occurred in the mid-1970s and early 2000s.
