Observation Narrative
An extremely diverse and perhaps exceptionally wet example of Myrica cerifera - Baccharis halimifolia shrubland vegetation. The plot is located on a dune flat at the edge of a broad, shallow non-estuarine basin behind the oceanfront dunes in the central part of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
Just north of trail at a point 0.3 mi ENE of its junction with Wildlife Loop Drive.
