Lots of moss grows on the banks of the brook. The NW side (right) has somewhat dense small woody and herbaceous plant cover, with ferns growing about 2 m from the bank. The trees are mostly small and in the understory (such as Red Maple and one tree pictured at the bottom that I could not yet identify), with a few reaching the overstory (Boxelder and Ash). The SE side (left) has less dense woody and herbaceous plant cover near the banks, with more ferns farther up the slope towards the Eastern White Pine stand. This side also has less understory growth, with Basswood, Eastern White Pine, and Paper Birch making up the overstory.
