BOLINAS RIDGE (2,381 acres) - This long, linear unit
stretches from Olema, east along Sir Francis Drake Blvd, then
turns south and follows Bolinas ridge to the Bolinas-Fairfax
Road. The northern half of the unit contains grasslands grazed
by cattle. Drainages within this area support mixed scrub,
hardwood woodlands, and some Douglas-fir. The southern half
of the unit supports primarily Douglas-fir and redwood forests,
hardwood forests, and mixed scrub plant communities. At the
southern end, the FMU supports a dense stand of maritime chaparral
that supports two rare species - Marin manzanita and Mason's
ceanothus (Ceanothus masonii). The latter species is a federal
Species of Concern and is state-listed as rare.
