"Post Discovery" Douglas fir stands 70-80 years. Old common in northern Mendocino, Humboldt, and west Trinity counties. Dating from settlement period after 1850. These stands have come up on what was apparently originally a woodland type characterized by a few large, rough Douglas firs, and very limby, broad-crowned Black oaks, madrones, and maples. Douglas firs now reach up above the hardwoods. This shading plus old basal fire soars and consequent decay will eventually eliminate the hardwoods. See also #6334, 5, 8. 6340-49. This view in Redway forest near Garberville. 3/18/37. E. F
