		Coast live oak woodland typically occurs on steep, north-facing slopes and shaded ravines or along raised stream banks and terraces, where it forms open to relatively closed canopy stands dominated by coast live oak (Holland 1986; Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995).
		Coast live oak woodland on Crestridge corresponds to the CNDDB coast live oak woodland association (71.060.19).
		Oak woodlands are considered regionally sensitive, however, because of their limited acreage, high wildlife value, gradual loss to development, and lack of recruitment.
