Landscape Narrative	Bounded by alder thickets on both sides. A Typha stand sits between the alder and upland slope.;Large monoculture of Spiraea along Red Creek alluvial plain. Red Creek and it's tributaries meander through the Spiraea in deep (1m) incised channels. This area is very slowly growing up in shrubs (Viburnum nudum var. cassinoides) and trees (Spruce, Yellow birch) after severe disturbance - logging, burning, grazing.
Representativeness	Large Spiraea stand along Red Creek. This is a typical alluvial setting for Spiraea.
