Red Brome (Bromus rubens)Observer
greybexDescription
115°41'12.325"W 33°44'22.862"N
Red Brome seen on hillsides and in washes. Infrequent, yet somewhat widely distributed. Saw 10-20 plants through casual observation while walking between staging/camp area and work area. Most were seen closer to proximity of staging/camp area - both in wash and along historic mining road. Observed but no action taken due to time constraints and distribution.
For more detailed site information, contact me or cultural resources team.
