Landscape Narrative	Scenic area with frequently traveled interpretive trail. Old growth ends soon downhill. Uphill is road. Northern hardwoods/spruce ecotone.;Remnant old growth stand of spruce and northern hardwoods with small seepage zone along headwater streamlet. Most large trees in plot are standing dead but canopy is formed in places by saplings. Understory of ferns and grasses on mossy rocks and small alluvial terraces. Canopy opening in spots with regenerating spruce.
Representativeness	Sampled to represent seepage unlogged context. Narrow seepage zone around stream headwaters. These seeps occur in several little draws which join downstream and form a channelized, high gradient stream. Plot irregular - it follows the wetland boundary and
