Mesic mixed stand on slope adjacent to parkway. Area is relatively exotic-free, especially in comparison to most of parkway property. Above plot on upper slopes, forest grades into more Oak-Heath with Quercus montana / Quercus alba dominating. This stand has nice old trees, but does have significant deer browse.
