Observation Narrative
North-facing slope along O'Rourke Draft, 0.25 mi NE of Blowing Springs Campground. Soils here are relatively deep, dark and friable, supporting a fine second growth mixed hardwood forest with many nutrient demanding species. Trees are tall, straight and well formed on this productive site.
