Southern Appalachian Catawba Rhododendron Heath Bald - CEGL003818

Catawba Rhododendron Heath Balds on Wilburn Ridge may have replaced red spruce/rhododendron woodlands following logging and fires.  These shrub communities, however, appear to be long-persistent, with little sign of successional replacement.  Grayson Highlands State Park, Grayson County.
