Landscape Narrative	Adjacent to North Fork of Lon Run in protected wilderness of Monongahela NF. Just upslope is a stand of old growth red spruce-hemlock-beech forest. Hemlock and beech are dying in this area with dense stands of yellow birch saplings filling in the gaps.;Healthy stand of hemlock-spruce northern hardwood forest on slope below old growth spruce-hemlock-beech forest. Cobbles and bedrock are the substrate with moss and litter cover throughout.
