Landscape Narrative	Similar forest with fewer herbs continues downslope below ledges.;Flat ridgetop with soil development between 2 rock ledges. Community is a deciduous forest with large, gnarled Red Oak with somewhat smaller Basswood and Sugar Maple over a lush herb layer. Canopy of all species seems stressed by insect attack and / or climate, which creates more light for herbs to fourish. Plot includes rocky areas and areas with soil, both with abundant waterleaf.
