The new site is a place called Mine Ledge. It is a steep cliff face covered in brown lichens, with red and white pines growing out of it in places.
A stand of red pine and white pine on top of the cliff.
The pile of crumbled rock in the valley is visible on the google map.
Low bush blueberries and mountain laurel grow out of some of the cracks. Although not visible here, there are also spruces and birches on the cliff
The vegetation that is able to grow in the shallow soils of this place receives much more sunlight than the vegetation at my site in Burlington does. The soils on this cliff are also much drier, in no way resembling those in the wetland in Burlington. The site is higher in elevation as well, at 1,320 ft. The Oaks, which are present at both sites, seem to be at similar stages in their phenology, with some brown leaves still hanging on the branches. I would say that the phenology is at a similar stage in both sites, with differences in latitude being made up for by elevation. The low bush blueberries have lost most of their leaves, with the remaining ones taking on a bright red color. Other than these and the oak, all of the other deciduous species have lost their leaves.
The vegetation at this site is adapted to drastically different conditions, and more closely resembles the vegetation on Mt. Mansfield. It is very special in the area, because there are not many exposed rock faces nearby.
