The properties comprise 120 acres of mixed conifer forestland with a northern exposure. The site is representative of highly productive forestland surrounding the Camp on the Plumas National Forest.
Several streams pass through the property.
The Camp facility is managed under a Special Use Permit issued by the Forest Service and has been the learning environment for thousands of Cal foresters. The summer Camp itself is set in a forest museum-piece, with ancient trees, complete with downed trees and attendant wildlife abounding. The site is unparalleled as a location for learning in and about the forest. The harvest method was a clearcut. No efforts were made to control the erosion nor to reforest the cutover stand.
