Landscape Narrative	Stand lies between Forest Road 44 and Forest Road 35, on a narrow ridge between the valley roads.;Second growth hemlock-hardwood forest with red spruce in understory. A few snags and down wood in varying stages of decay. Litter is mostly deciduous, beech trees are sickly. No sign og hemlock wooly adelgid.
