Concept
This area is a gentle up-slope bound on the North by a section of Riparian South-West and an accompanying wet meadow and on the South a steeper slope that is part of Succession West. It comprises some 1-2 acres. Predominant trees include Black Walnut, Box Elder, and Green Ash; predominant shrubs include Cranberry Viburnum, Gray Dogwood, Multiflora Rose, and Tartarian Honeysuckle, An active reforestation effort is focused on creating a heavy grove of Black Locust (including runners) that continues a current concentration of Locust just to the East. Redbud and Flowering Dogwood are being introduced as well as additional species Dogwood and Viburna.
