Where to See It
The Basic Oak - Hickory Forest is fairly abundant in Harpers Ferry NHP. A good place to see it is:
1) the Upper Loop Trail on Bolivar Heights, above (east of) the large fields east of Bakerton Road. In this area, it is abutted by stands of the Successional Tuliptree Forest and the Successional Mixed Deciduous Forest, neither of which are dominated by oaks.
