This photo shows a patch clear cut at an unknown Garcia River basin location amongst mixed conifer-hardwood stands. This shows typical stand conditions following old growth logging forty to fifty years ago. Cable corridors from selective logging also show on the ridge to the left of the clear cut.

Patches of bare soil in the photo (upper right) show the tracks of past landslides which have not yet re-vegetated. Photo by Friends of the Garcia River and Peter Dobbins.
