The native plant communities of Kirkville are valley grassland and riparian forest.

The U.S. Postal Service sometimes lists addresses in Kirkville as being in Robbins, because Kirkville is in the 95645 zip code and Robbins is partly in it as well. However, on the Yuba-Sutter Wiki, we prefer listing the more specific location Kirkville.
