Landscape Narrative	This stand is at the edge of the WMA upslope from a field. This field may be a corridor for exotic species found in the plot. Upslope is well buffered by a steep slope of oak-hickory-maple/heath forest.;Mixed age mesic forest with some large Quercus rubra and subcanopy of significantly younger Acer rubrum, Carya, and Nyssa. The understory is dominated by fern species. Shrub cover is almost nil.
Representativeness	Cool NE facing lower slope exhibiting dominance by mesophytic species as as some representation by some rich soil indicators. More Fraxinus americana scattered in the draw, but not well represented here.
