Some microsites contain white pine and red spruce. Cliff areas contain mosses and Paronychia argyrocoma.;Mixed hardwood forest on plateau on top of ridgeline. Quercus prinus and Acer rubrum are dominant canopy types. Sparse shrub layer, mostly Hammamelis virginiana. Forest floor is covered with leaf litter. Ground vegetation consists mostly of seedlings. Quercus prinus cored, dbh 9.5 inches approx. 60 years old.
