Located in a large stand of young trees and various communities. Stand changes to mixed oak-Gaylussacia very quickly in all directions.;This entire area seems to have been logged not so long ago, perhaps leaving the chestnut oaks which are medium age. Kalmia is the dominant understory shrub here although ther is significant Gaylussacia as well. Browsing on some Kalmia.

Young oak heath stand. Plot chosen for older trees because the surrounding area is very young.
