The area is bounded to the west and south by a mixed upland forest and on the east by the RR and a waste field.There are a few Populus deltoides and Robinia psuedo-acacia trees around the edge. Denser thickets of Polygonum cuspidatum and Asimina triloba occur farther north near the river. Asimina and Acer negundo are also more common along the stream.;Most of the plot is up on a minor terrace 1-2 meters above the stream.
