This is the main grassland area, which is small perhaps 500 square feet. Bigbluestem is the tall grass to the left and the shorter grass to the right is sideoats grama. The rest of this south facing slope is mostly covered with fragrant sumac, punctuated with eastern redcedars and yellow oak. Exotic honeysuckles are prestent at this site but are fortunately not dominate.
