Observation Narrative	PA Type: Old Field Vegetation.This is a seepy flat on a terrace above a small creek that seems to have been cleared in the past. There are a number of similar open patches in varying stages of succession throughout this area. They have a woodland feel but canopy cover ranges from very open to 'forested' (this plot being at that extreme) and contain indicators of wet/moist conditions.
