Landscape Narrative ? Long narrow N - S running ridge within the Nat'l Forest following the state line. On the WV side the forest is managed by the Monongahela, on the VA side it is the George Washington. To the N of here near Chestnut Ridge we have plots within a similar community type (MONF.370, 371).;Beautiful stand of large twisted Quercus rubra trees. There is a large amount of downed wood in the plot, most of which are branches from the Red Oaks. This is likely a result herb layer of Black Cohosh and White Snakeroot. There is a small amount of Garlic mustard in the plot. There is little noticable man - made disturbance. Lots of game trails through plot.
