The west side of the exclosure is at the edge of a road. The site consists of two contiguous exclosures constructed 30 to 50 years ago. The narrow exclosure encompasses the valley bottom from Charity Spring, downstream for about 0.3 mile. Much of the valley bottom is subirrigated and several seeps surface within the exclosure. Glyceria grandis and Salix geyeriana communities dominate the seeps, spring-fed channel, and subirrigated sites. A Hordeum brachyantherum community occupies the mesic fringe, which is relatively extensive in several areas of the exclosure. Juniperus occidentalis woodlands occupy the adjacent mountain slopes.
