Landscape Narrative	Within Panther Knob preserve, trail-less area.;"Red oak orchard" from Flemming 1985. Beautiful expanse of Carex polymorpha on soft soil under low, even canopy of red oak. Ice/wind probably keeps canopy low and even. The same set of species and physiognomy, minus the Carex polymorpha, occurs to the west on flat rocky substrate. In the rocky "orchard" Castanea joins the low canopy.
