Landscape Narrative	Up slope the community is mixed deciduous / great laurel, See NPS IMP plot near here. Above this community is the railgrade. Across the river the community appears to be a mixed deciduous - TSCA / RHMA floodplain forest.;Open sunny herbaceous community growing on sandstone ledges along a slower stretch of the Meadow River. The river runs E-W here giving this community full sun all day.
Representativeness	Small patch roughly the size of a plot. Plot was placed to sample open signature along river. Similar to other GARI river plots. This one has slightly less veg cover.
