    Geography: Sierra Nevada

  • Notes

    Entered Dec 2011. Sagehen Creek Field Station is approximately 8000 acres, and encompasses a diverse cross section of the Sierra Nevada from the Pacific Crest (el. 8000 ft) to the eastern slope (el. 6400 ft). Habitats include yellow pine, mixed conifer, and red fir forests, as well as brushfields, scattered mountain meadows, and fens. The Sagehen Herbarium is comprised of two related collections: "Herbarium of the Sagehen Creek Field Station" and "Flora of California." The Sagehen Creek collection is fairly comprehensive of plants found on the reserve. The "Flora of California" collection draws from a broader area, but is still focused on Sierra Nevada specimens.
