Observation Narrative	This severe bedrock habitat supports a rather sparse assemblage of vascular plants. Recent vista clearing for the overlook resulted in some damage to woody plants on the outcrop. Hiker trampling, although not severe, is noticeable enough to be a concern. A colony of the state rare goldenrod Solidago rigida ssp. rigida, occurs within the plot boundary. Plot location: Shenandoah NP. Exposed greenstone outcrop on steep, SW-facing slope just below Gooney Manor Overlook. Plot is positioned along the axis of the main outcrop shelf, west of the informal trail from the Overlook.
