This Reserve is an outstanding example of an old growth redwood, Sequoia sempervirens, on an alluvial terrace. There is a well-developed understory with Trillium ovatum, wild ginger, Asarum caudatum, and redwood sorrel, Oxalis oregana, etc.

Integrity: Most of the area is virgin redwood. Winter floods have caused some damage to the eastern portion of the area.

Use: Research.
