Observation Narrative
Chestnut oak bluff remnant bordering a tidal marsh inlet of the James River. Stand composition is unusual and enigmatic, with a mixture of typical inland dry-site species (Quercus montana, Kalmia latifolia) with those of wetter Coastal Plain habitats (Persea palustris, Myrica cerifera, Magnolia virginiana).
