From Chatsworth Road at 76 burn S perimeter parking spot, go N on Chatsworth road for 90 ft to overgrown road/firebreak on E side. Follow overgrown road for 780 ft to flag at Pv intermittent pond, then another 210 ft around wet curve. From right (SE) side of road at twisted wire flag, go into the pitch pine-reedgrass savanna bearing SE 140 degrees for 45 ft to 1st rebar. To second rebar, go SSW 200 degrees for 20 m (Note: 2nd rebar is 50 ft from N tip of main Pv intermittent pond, bearing 28 degrees NNE).

| Observation Narrative |
Community Type: pitch pine-reedgrass savanna
Community Description: There is a mosaic of pitch pine-reedgrass savanna (wet and dry types), pitch pine-reedgrass savanna/pitch pine-mixed heath lowland and pitch pine-mixed heath lowland community types around this plot, all with over 50% Calamovilfa brevipilis. Dominance of Calamovilfa brevipilis in a pitch pine-mixed heath lowland is surprising and unique to this site probably due to close association with pitch pine-reedgrass savanna and pitch pine-reedgrass savanna/pitch pine-mixed heath lowland within this mosaic, plus growing season fires in 1976 and earlier.
Other species present but not in observation area: Lobelia nuttallii
