The crested wheatgrass mistakenly seeded on the Corley property does not <br />dominate the grass community and, in fact. it was difficult to find this grass species. Bunch <br />grasses are widespread and appear to have become more mature, rather than being small <br />sprigs of grass. <br />Shrub mortality remains relatively low, Grazing pressure on the shrubs does not appear to <br />be negatively impacting them at this time Mountain mahogany transplants, as shown above, <br />reveal some signs of winter browsing but apparently not to the detriment of!-th~e plant itself. <br />ii., ~~ <br />Slides and Damage <br />A small sinkhole, shown at left, has developed <br />on the reclaimed area above the portal.
