Brent with some female "cones" and male flower "catkins" from
the White Alder (Alnus rhombifolia) trees (background) along Clear Creek,

features a large park with a small amphitheatre which is open to public year round.
Brent at the base of a wild Manzanita tree (Whiteleaf Manzanita, Arctostaphylos
viscida) on the Goldrush property, Old Shasta, CA. The trees, which produce pale pink
clusters of sticky flowers in late winter, and tiny 1/4-3/8" fruit in the spring, run
wild over the hills in this area. They are most notable for their smooth deep red bark (which turns ash black when the trees die). After pollution created by 19th century gold mining operations poisoned most of the plantlife in this area, the manzanita were among the first plants to reestablish themselves.
