Vegetation: Tree cover consists of live oaks, post oaks, cedar elm, mesquite, cedar, and a mix of other trees commonly found in this area. Forbs and browse such as elbowbush, skunkbush, bumelia, and lotebush are present and provide great wildlife habitat. Native grasses are in excellent condition with no grazing in the last few years.
