Mike an old fellow I knew who has since passed on, lived up the hill from me in Coulterville.
It's mostly foothill pines and oak trees, lots of shale rock, manzanita and poison oak. He had a herd of about 100 goats just for eating/controlling the poison oak. He said they loved it and he was poison oak free on his land.
