Unauthorized OHV trails in the Deep Creek area<\/p><\/div>\n

At the beginning of January, my internship at the San Bernardino National Forest shifted focus; I am now a part of our forest-wide restoration program.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>I have been working in our greenhouse in Big Bear Lake and at our lower-elevation nursery at Lytle Creek, and I also have the opportunity to be more involved in the planning process.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are continuing work in the Deep Creek area, which involves restoring areas damaged by unauthorized OHV use.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>As we encounter them, we are also mapping new sites and unauthorized trails that need to be restored.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The area is predominantly high-desert scrub; common species include Mojave buckwheat, holly-leaved cherry, chaparral yucca, Great Basin sagebrush, antelope bitterbrush, brittlebush (<\/span>Encelia <\/span><\/i>sp.), yerba santa, and cup leaf ceanothus.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Palmer\u2019s oak is occasional and is always an interesting find.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Wildflower-wise, it looks like it will be a better spring than last year; lots of annuals are starting to pop up, including chia (<\/span>Salvia colombiare<\/span><\/i>)<\/span>, Phacelia <\/span><\/i>species, <\/span>Oenothera californica<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Calochortus kennedyi kennedyi, <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Leptosyne bigelovii<\/span><\/i>.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Beaver Dam breadroot <\/span><\/i>(<\/span>Pediomelum castoreum<\/span><\/i>)<\/span>, <\/span><\/i>which I mentioned in a previous post as an exciting possibility in the area, is another one to be on the lookout for.<\/span><\/p>\n
