Landscape Narrative	Large expanse of hardwood forest surrounds the ridgetop, with little sign of disturbance.;Good quality 2nd growth forest on narrow, windy ridgetop. Trees are fairly tall and well - formed, a few have wind - damaged tops. Standing snags are abundant and there are a moderate number of fallen trunks. Herbaceous layer is fairly sparse, especially considering the light coming through the canopy with the leaves just starting to open.
