Document Description
Pine Hill Ecological Reserve (PHER) is a 666-acre reserve comprised of unusual soils (Gabbro complex) and Mediterranean climate to support three district biotic communities: chamise chaperral, foothill woodland, and Ponderosa pine forest.
The area has become overgrown with shrubs which in turn reduced wildlife value and is having negative ramifications on the rare and endemic plant species on the reserve. The overgrown shrubs also represent a very heavy fuel load posing a significant fire risk to the adjacent communities.
