An old (trees > 350 years) stand that had undergone fire-exclusion for ~ 80 years. Restoration efforts (burning and raking) are underway. Old turpentining scars are present on most trees, providing a unique aspect and cultural history.
Threats: wildfire danger, urban interface, non-native species invasions.
Several past and current research projects (see Gilliam et al. 1993 and others).
