Grass valley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Grass Valley.
A grass valley (also vega and valle) is a meadow located within a forested and relatively small drainage basin such as a headwater. Grass valleys are common in North America, where they are created and maintained principally by the work of beavers. Rarely, they are associated with cienegas.
The words vega and valle are loanwords from Spanish.
