Landscape Narrative	Bordered by levees with black cherry/ferns/Glyceria/bluejoint. Land owned by Canaan Valley Institute. Some development and or recreational use possible in future. Logging unlikely in the future.;Early-mid successional. Old oxbow between 2 parallel levees along the Blackwater River. Dominated by bluejoint grass with sedges. No apparent disturbance. This side of the river is not easily accessible (no trails, must ford the river to get here).
Representativeness	We have not seen this exact community in this landscape position before, but it appears similar to other floodplain bluejoint communities. Plot placed along axis of old oxbow to avoid upland vegetation.
