Landscape Narrative	Private farm with conservation easment for subterranean elements. Bottom is hayfield and pasture. Upland forest on limestone has white oak, chinquapin oak, etc…Site is seldom visited.;Entrance to cave with emerging spring. Overhanging limestone rock face is 12 m tall with drips from overhanging edge and roof. Rock is strongly dominated by a single light-green dust lichen with a few associates. The cliff is roughly 12 m tall with 5% ledges and 50% overhang.
