Observation Narrative
An exposed, west facing greenstone outcrop supporting sparse scrub and herbaceous vegetation. Both habitat and vegetation are pristine, as this site is remote and rarely, if ever, visited by humans.
Plot location: Shenandoah NP. On west-facing slope along the headwaters of the Rose River, ca. 0.1 mile SE of the horse trail stream crossing and 0.9 mile NE of Fishers Gap.
