Landscape Narrative	Up and downstream the giant cane is replaced by Japanese knotweed and other invasives. Stand bordered by Guyandotte River on one side and large railyard on the other side.;Giant cane (10' tall) under silver maple floodplain forest on infrequently flooded bench below large rail yard. This is the best quality stand we've seen outside Green Bottom WMA. Threatened by rail yard expansion and fill / trash dumping from railyard.
