Hopper Mountain The Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge adjoins the
Sespe Condor Sanctuary on the south and is essentially a part of
the sanctuary. Vegetation in the area includes chaparral, grassland and
some mixed evergreen forest. Chaparral
is the main habitat type, and chamise, Adenostoma fasciculatum, purple sage,
Salvia leucophylla, and scrub oak, Quercus sp., are the dominant species.
The grassland consists primarily of exotics but there is some Stipa
(Nassella) sp. In the canyons big-cone Douglas fir, Pseudotsuga
macrocarpa, and California walnut, Juglans californica, are found. Animals are abundant and typical of the region. The rare
California condor, Gymnogyps californianus, occurs in the area. There are several seeps and springs and a perennial
creek. Integrity: The area has been grazed but the vegetation
is relatively undisturbed. Use: Research, educational, present. March 1982
