History

The understorey consists of huckleberry, salal, sword fern and oceanspray depending on available sunlight. Ground cover consists of Oregon grape, pathfinder and vanilla leaf.
A short trail winds through the forest and connects the fire lane off Tozer Road with Ships Point Road. The trail access/egress is signed on both ends and dog bag dispensers have been provided. Vehicle access is limited to parking on the shoulder of Ships Point Road.
