This part of centennial woods is thick with pine trees. Pine trees tend to grow in open areas which is evident that this part of the forest was cleared land however many years. It was most likely farmland in the past. These pine trees are being outcompeted by other hardwood trees which are more prominent farther up the hill. These hardwoods such as maple and oak seem to be growing in the understory of the oaks while the oaks are all falling down with no saplings to replace them. This shows that the forest is currently undergoing succession as a result of its former clearing. This land was most likely used for grazing candle but could have been used for any kind of agriculture.
