Landscape Narrative	Shale barren is undercut by a small stream. Across stream is road and residences. Matrix forests in area have lots of whte pine.;Steep SW facing slope friable shale above an undercutting stream. Community is classic shale barren woodland dominated by short Virginia pine with several shale barren endemic species in the herb layer. White pine may be slowly encroaching on barren or may be susceptible to drought cycles. Deciduous tree saplings appear drought suppressed. Virginia pine is regenerating in S2 and appears to have multiple age classes.
