Landscape Narrative ? Center of wetland has beaver burn open woodland (MONF.155) and successional Leersia (MONF.152) and Sparganium (MONF.153) communities. Upland spruce has Vaccinium erythrocarpum dominant in understory (high elevation type).;Swamp woodland on edge of open beaver influenced wetland. Woodland of tall spruce with some dead snags and some individuals with witches' brooms, probably a sign of stress from inundation. Tip mounds due to shallow soils add additional structure. Understory dominated by Vaccinium erythrocarpum with a carpet of Sphagnum underneath. Average Picea cored 72 years.
