We will look at three distinct areas of serpentine geology in NW California: the Josephine ophiolite, the Rattlesnake Creek Terrane, and the Trinity Ultramafic Sheet, and learn about their similarities and their differences. We will take a landscape level look at each of these areas, and touch on their endemic plant species, many of which are rare. For a preview, see https://www.fs.usda.gov/wildflowers/b...
