Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forestry Pamphlets, Vol. 22: Grazing-Sheep The members of the botanical department of the Experiment Station spent the summer of 1901 from June Ist to August Ist on the sheep ranges of the Sierra Nevada. They traveled on foot from near Pyramid Lake to Sierra Valley, thence by way of the Little Truckee to Webber Lake, and from there to the American River, studying and collecting the plants and grasses on Which the sheep feed, There are many things that make this work important. The part of the Sierra they Visited is the principal summer range of many of the most prominent sheep owners in Western Nevada; and so in these mountains many sheep feed every summer. Now, while this region is still an excellent grazing country, there are nevertheless many parts of it where overstocking and dry seasons have greatly injured the forage in both quantity and quality. If in future years the number of sheep is increased this injury Will be aggravated, and Will become much more widespread, perhaps disastrous.
