North Shore East Meadow

Habitat Description:    Mostly level vernally mesic to hydric meadow bordered by Yellow Pine woodlands and Lake Siskiyou with a dirt road running along the Northern edge of the meadow.

Note: This list is a work in progress and not a complete botanical survey as observations were only begun in late July 2004. Also, as the primary purpose of these observations was for gathering native wildflower seed, some grasses and the trees are not covered in these findings.
