The Category C site listings were included for use as reference points for potential future field work. Very open but bordered by forest. Site slopes slightly off to the north in direction of Gar Creek.
Site receives periodic mowings, which explains presence of rare species.
Site is mostly bordered by a Virginia pine dominated forest and, in places, by fields. Unfortunately, herbicided in 1993. However, rare plant still found. Development beginning to encroach in general area. See Piedmont Prairies for information on overall efforts to preserve the rare species.
