Observation Narrative	Habitat is a slightly elevated flat on an island between the main channel of Abrams Creek and a still active meander channel. This habitat is protected from grazing, has a seasonally perched water table, and occasionally has areas of shallow standing water. It supports a very small, fragmental remnant of prairie like grassland characterized by Andropogon gerardii, Sorghastrum nutans and Symphyotrichum prealtum var. angustior. This plot is adjacent to (with one shared corner) the permanently marked Plot AC-2 established during a Shenandoah University study of this site (Bousquet et al. 1999). Plot located on northern edge of island between two channels of Abrams Creek, just east of a large pond on Willow Grove Farm and just south of the Winchester and Western Railroad tracks, 0.45 mi southeast of Merrimans Lane crossing.
