| Location Narrative |
From Chatsworth Rd. at 76 burn S perimeter parking spot, go N on Chatsworth Rd. for 90' to an overgrown road/fire break on the E side. Follow the overgrown road for 780' to a flag at the main Pv intermittent pond, then another 160' around the wet curve. From the right (SE) side of the road, go into the pitch pine-reedgrass savanna, bearing 103 degrees for 215' to the smaller intermittent pond #2 with a small patch of Muhlenbergia torreyana ringed by Calamovilfa brevipilis. From pond #2 go bearing SE 140 degrees for 150' to the second rebar of plot PL4.3 or go bearing south 170 degrees for ~150' to first rebar. The plot is oriented SW 225 degrees.

| Observation Narrative |
Community Type: pitch pine-reedgrass savanna
Community Description: Rather dense tree cover of Pinus rigida (68%) suggests this stand was burned less intensely or missed by last fires in 1982 and 1976. Despite this, cover of Calamovilfa brevipilis remains high (58%), perhaps due to immediate proximity of a wet swale with 100% Calamovilfa brevipilis cover. Pocket of pitch pine-inkberry lowland wetland with dense Ilex glabra and Vaccinium corymbosum adjacent also.
Other species present but not in observation area: Vaccinium corymbosum
