Summary of the Caspar Creek Watershed Study as Presented to the California State Board of Forestry in Sacramento, California, February 26, 1965.

摘要

The Caspar Creek Watershed Study is located in the Jackson State Forest. It is a cooperative study by the California Division of Forestry, the Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, the California Department of Water Resources and the California Department of Fish and Gems. The precipitation records were started in 1961. The weirs, however, were not completed until November 1962. The study area is five (5) miles south of Fort Bragg and five (5) miles inland. It consists of two (2) comparable watersheds: the North Fork which drains 1264 acres, and the South Fork which drains 1078 acres. The timber stands in both watersheds are dense mixed young growth redwood and Douglas-fir. The timber stand in the North Fork drainage is 65-70 years old, while the South Fork timber is older, around 80-85 years.
