MonitoringLocationDescriptionText The mouth of Panther Creek is bordered to the north and south by two unnamed tributaries of Redwood Creek. These tributaries are in turn bordered by Coyote Creek on the northern side and Garrett Creek to the south. The survey was conducted on foot from the mouth to 1.25 miles upstream. The entire area surrounding Panther Creek is owned by timber companies. With the exception of the headwaters, all land adjacent to the creek has been logged. Panther Creek has two distinct habitat types. The undisturbed virgin redwoods and Douglas fir of the headwaters contrast sharply with the open, alder dominated terrain of the lower creek. A moderate amount of logging debris clogs the stream in its lower reaches while the upper portion is totally free of log jams and land slides. At the time of sampling Simpson Timber Company owned the land surrounding Panther Creek.
