The primary forest cover types are Yellow Poplar, White Oak, Northern Red Oak forest type and the White Oak, Black Oak, Northern Red Oak forest type. To a lesser extent, the Chestnut Oak forest type is also present. Included in these forest types is a mixture of typical Appalachian hardwood species such as red and sugar maple, beech, hickory, birch, sycamore and some hemlock. Some timber harvesting has occurred within the past 5 years. Natural regeneration is successful. Impacts to successful natural regeneration by white tailed deer browsing are expected to be minimal.
