The Cloney Creek Calwater is comprised of 5 percent in medium large and greater trees, 78 percent in small-medium and smaller trees, and 17 percent is non-forest.

Vegetation is classified according to diameter at breast height (DBH):
Giant = >50" DBH, V Large = 40-50" DBH, Large = 30-39.9" DBH, Medium/Large = 20-29.9" DBH, Small/Medium = 12-19.9" DBH, Small = 5-11.9" DBH, Non-Forest = No trees, shrubs, grass, bare soil.
