Group of young, likely, western red cedar. The cones depicted are NOT from these trees. It’s through me off for second, but they debris from the surrounding forest.
Possible western sword fern decline: same patch as previous 3 reported by myself. This point is the far other edge of patch.
Forest loop at TESC. Found trailside underneath a larger conifer. Slightly serrated leaves with a reddish stem. Multiple nearby. Cool and sunny day. Less than 200' of elevation.
