Observation Narrative	This site was obviously cleared and grazed in the past, but the present condition of the vegetation is quite natural. It contains relatively few exotics and the compliment of eastern prairie species is impressive (Sorghastrum nutans, Solidago rigida, Aster ericoides, Lithospermum canescens, Carex meadii, Liatris squarrosa, etc). This old clearing will likely undergo succession to Pinus virginiana forest, but with prescribed burning management, a prairie like community could be created. Soil is seasonally wet, becoming dry and hard in the summer.
