Landscape Narrative	Site overlooks ABL Navy Facility~ air stinks and it's noisy. Above plot quickly grades to acidic chestnut oak forest.;Steep N facing limestone outcrops above an outside bend in the river. This is a small rock exposure, hardly a cliff compared to high cliffs in this same river bend. Community is a woodland of stunted sugar maple and red oak with dead juniper snags. There is a concentration of rare calciophytic herb in the sunnier, rocky areas. Charcoal on wood.
