Landscape Narrative	Large bog / swamp complex surrounded by a ring of spruce forest then wilderness mountain slopes of rich northern hardwoods.;Sterile poor fen dominated by cranberries, dew berry, and cottongrass. Deep peat deposits. Pitcher plants become abundant towards the edge of opening. Community is drier than we expected. Could possibly be drying up.
