Observation Narrative	Plot located along a small spring run just west of FR 201 at a point ca. 0.1 mi north of Giles/Bland County line. A thin, probably naturally somewhat open, saturated woodland scarcely covering 0.25 acres. Although completely surrounded by acidic upland habitats and vegetation, this woodland shows a strong floristic influence from calcareous substrates or groundwater in the presence of Thuja occidentalis, Carex tetanica, Carex granularis, and the rarities Cypripedium reginae and Pycnanthemum torrei. The trees here are very young and small and this vegetation may need future natural disturbances or management to maintain enough light to support the rare species.
