Landscape Narrative	This about 100 m from a large wildlife plot and a road. This is a large example of this type, but is broken into fragments due to the uplands.;This is a forested seep which is fed by a spring upslope ~100 m. There are various hardwoods of young age and a diverse herb layer. The Lerrsia is dense in the central depression with Osmunda on hummocks. There is some Microstegium in the lower corner.
Representativeness	Plot placed in a linear seep to not capture upland. Difficult to represent because of the small nature of this community.
