These species get benefitted from the Herbaceous balds and are preferred habitat.
Peromyscus keeni
Keen's Deermouse is the most common deermouse in the Pacific Northwest. It inhabits rainy, mild climate zones at higher elevations than the closely-related North American Deermouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), and prefers areas where the forest canopy is somewhat open. Observers report that it is very good at climbing and jumping. It is often a pest in rural areas, especially in winter, because it readily moves into buildings.

The Oregon silverspot is listed as a threatened species under the United States Endangered Species Act. It is found at a handful of sites scattered along the coast of northern California and Oregon. Development, grazing, and off-road vehicles are all to blame for this butterfly’s decline. Changes in fire regime, introduced plant species and pesticides are also threats. Recognition of the role of fire and other periodic disturbance in the maintenance of Oregon silverspot habitat has allowed appropriate management strategies to be enacted.
