| Description: | This natural area has been recently greatly reduced in size as a result of extensive subdivision development. The remaining area is entirely upland habitat dominated mainly by white cedar forest on shallow drift over limestone bedrock. The forest is in fair condition. Small openings of alvar-like habitat exist similar to that found at South Gloucester. [Brownell and Blaney 1997] |
