The landscape also features open grasslands and meadows, willow and berry-producing shrubs, and healthy riparian zones along lakeshores and creeks. Areas touched by past wildfires are now rich with regenerating pine, willow, fireweed, and native grasses, creating excellent wildlife habitat and strong forage potential for ranching. This diverse vegetation not only supports livestock but also enhances the natural beauty and recreational appeal of the property.
