Little Whitehorse Creek RNA

Little Whitehorse Exclosure Research Natural Area (RNA) was established to represent a high gradient reach of a first to third order stream in the sagebrush zone with the following riparian communities: mountain alder (Alnus incana) and creek dogwood (Cornus sericea) with potential for black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) and Pacific willow (Salix lucida) with Wood's rose (Rosa woodsii). The RNA is an exclosure in a narrow canyon of Little Whitehorse Creek rimmed by basalt cliffs.
