| Sections of the ground were matted with birds nest lichens (Cladonia sp.) also known as reindeer lichens. They are small fruiticoselichens that grow in clumps on poor soils and are easily overlooked. |
 |
| Several stalks of greenbrier were observed with this being the smallest. |
 |
| A stand of small eastern redbuds (Cercis canadensis)with seedpods still attached. These will have brilliant red flower in the spring and are indicator species of limestone-based soils. |
 |
| Shingle oak (Quercus imbricaria) growing amidst the cedars. The only oak in eastern Ohio without a lobed leaf. |
 |
| Smooth sumac (Rhus glabra) is similar to the more common staghorn sumac but lacks velvet fuzziness on the seed clusters and twigs. |
