Landscape Narrative	Extensive early successional hardwood forest and shrublands form a large roadless block adjacent to Canaan Valley NWR. Between CVIN.50 and CVIN.49 is a large successional shrub wetland with Vaccinium myrtilloides and Andropogon glomerata.;Sandstone conglomerate outcrops on plateau edges above a rocky drainage. Outcrops have an opening in the tree canopy, with tree saplings and shrubs forming dense thickets between large boulders and ledges. Rock has moderate cover by lichens, with mosses in moist depressions. There is a pool of water, half full at sample date.
