Landscape Narrative	Beaver Dam Run is basically a medium sized valley. The open areas are dominated by either Solidago rugosa or Dichanthelium clandestinum. Some higher terraces contain conifers and Northern Hardwoods. See plots USFS.286,287,310 and MONF.104,105,106;Red spruce. This is an open non forested plot on an alluvial terrace. Two spruce trees are with in the plot.
