Observation Narrative	Acidic cove forest on bouldery, stream bottom levee along Cabin Creek. Somewhat unusual composition for this natural community type, with mixed canopy dominance of tall, straight Picea rubens, Betula allegheniensis and Fagus grandifolia; small gaps in Rhododendron maximum dominated shrub layer support a relatively large number of herbs for the type. Plot located ca. 0.15 mi south of the northernmost point on the Cabin Creek loop trail and 0.7 mi WNW of the Massie Gap parking area.
