Landscape Narrative	Matrix forest of successional Northern hardwoods with Spruce regeneration. Some Red Oak on warmer exposed aspects. Large evergreen signature downslope is probably Hemlock regeneration.;Cool aspect slope just off ridgeline. Forest with mostly deciduous canopy of Northern hardwoods with scattered Hemlock. Hemlock is more abundant in the subcanopy and shrub layers and will become dominant if it survives the wooly adelgid. Lots of down wood, much due to break up of Beech.
Representativeness	Small patch of Hemlock - Northern hardwoods forest. Plot has 1 Hemlock in canopy - Hemlock is abundant throughout in subcanopy but canopy trees are scattered.
