The 2020 census at Arana Gulch found only a single wild plant growing in Area A, even though there were several growing earlier in spring that the cattle ate, plus five planted seedlings had survived over in Area C. The amount of native and weed cover of each "Area" was surveyed in October 2020, as follows: AREA A = 72% weed grasses, 4% broadleaf weeds, 3% native grasses—Danthonia, and 4% wildflowers—poppies, and the remainder bare dirt. AREA B (never grazed) = 44% weed grasses, 41% native grasses—Bromus, 3% broadleaf weeds and the remainder bare dirt. AREA C = 72% weed grasses, 3% native grasses—Bromus, and 25% bare soil. AREA D (not grazed in 2020) = 97% weed grasses and 3% native grasses—Bromus.Dremann, Craig Carlton. 2020. October 15 Vegetation Survey of the Arana Gulch Tarplant populations and Vegetation cover.
