Observation Narrative	This planted stand of ca. 50-year-old Pinus palustris has attained open, aesthetically pleasing structure as a result of intensive fire management over nearly a decade. A low heath layer contains a large population of Kalmia angustifolia near the southern limit of its distribution; ericads form a mosaic with clumps of Pteridium aquilinum var. pseudocaudatum. Plot is situated on the crest of a gently rolling sandhill. Just to the east the terrain slopes subtly to a seasonally saturated swale containing Pinus serotina and more robust but less dense Vaccinium. This stand represents a model for the restorative effects of prescribed burning. Plot overlaps Stewardship plot 13.
