This photo was taken zooming in on the riparian zone of the Russian River along East Side Road between Hopland and Ukiah. The pattern of upland vegetation is more discernable in the zoom and is once again a mix of grasslands, oak woodlands and chaparral with just a few conifers in the draws. Photo by Patrick Higgins. July 15, 2003.
The area just beyond the berry patch just below center in this photo looks like it might be wetland species. Meadows may have water storing capacity that helps buffer flood peaks and supply flow into the annual summer drought. Photo at same location as Pictures 2-4. Photo by Pat Higgins. July 15, 2003.
