The vegetation in my spot is not very diverse and primarily consisted of eastern hemlocks, along with a few other evergreens and an assortment of saplings and ferns growing in the understory. Some standouts included one lone paper birch, a small red maple sapling, a barberry bush, and a patch of wood asters. The forest floor itself was almost entirely covered in pine needles and ferns, and although there was some growth in the understory, it was easy to walk through and not significantly dense. On the other hand, the canopy (which began high above us), was fairly dense, and although it was raining when we first visited our location, we were protected from much of the falling water.
