Landscape Narrative	W of the plot is the Gauley R which can be heard. To the E is Koontz Bend Rd. (about 50 m). About 25 m S is an old ATV trail.;Somewhat moist tall hemlock forest ~28 m. Flagging and ATV trail are near plot and seem to be the only element of human disturbance. No sign on hemlock of adelgid. There is a seep on the W end of our plot, the furrow of the seep starts about 15 m above (E) of our plot.
Representativeness	Tall TSCA forest with very little understory growth. Plot was placed to sample ELU 1133. The same type as sampled for GARI.72. Both are the same ELU but almost opposite aspects.
