Observation Narrative
Directions to plot: Take Park Scenic Drive to the NE and continue heading north when it turns into one-way. Park in Parking Lot F. Plot is located on the opposite side of the road from Parking Lot F (near road).
See form for sketch of plot configuration.
Upland depression near parking lot F. Area dominated by Quercus palustris in midst of Oak/ Heath uplands. Unique for Park.
(See Obs. pt. 080 for a similar spot near plot location. Area located nearby- but not a continuous depression between two sites. Also Obspt.080 does not contain Quercus palustris.)
