Landscape Narrative	Large roadless area with limited access to this side of the river. The floodplain below is influenced by lake backup, has mostly successional species, and an abundance of Lysimachia nummularia ground cover.;The plot is located on old farmland on a northerly aspect with rock walls (rock fence line) on the slope contour. This tall successional forest is dominated by Pinus strobus with some large and many smaller Liriodendron . Acer saccharum is present in the understory suggesting succession may progress towards mixed mesophytic forest.
Representativeness	Typical of large areas of successional forest. This patch represent a red photo signature and is dominated by Pinus strobus. The plot is located between two rock walls (rock fence line).
