| Landscape Narrative |
Surrounding forest grades to oak / kalmia on slopes and in bottom (same association as JENF.16). Further upslope are red oak / witch hazel rocky side slopes. Remote USFS tract but now slated for active management (for bear?). See plots JENF.12,13,14,15,16, and 18 for more context.;Lower north slope near confluence of dry drainages on acidic sandstone geology. Youngish forest dominated by oaks with birch and sourwood over a dense tall shrub layer of great laurel. Rhodies are large, with a distinct deer browse line. Short shrub layer is very sparse and surviving saplings are stressed by frequent browsing and shade. Not a single herb. Largest rhodies are fallen over - likely due to snow load.

| Representativeness |
Small to large patch. Placed plot to sample oak / rhododendron, similar to stands at GARI, and elsewhere to the north.
