Observation Narrative	This sandy slope along a ravine tributary of Lake Prince supports a second-growth mixed oak forest (Quercus velutina, Q. alba, Q. falcata) with some hickory (Carya pallida) and low shrub patches of deciduous heaths (Gaylussacia frondosa, Vaccinium spp.). Fagus grandifolia and Ilex opaca are actively invading the understory, perhaps because of fire exclusion.
