From chains 100-117 the community is a marshy meadow dominated by graminoids. The last 15 chains follows a small stream draining the bog.;This plot is located in a semi-dry meadow within a Picea rubens / heath Woodland. The principal plants are grasses Danthonia compressa, Deschampsia flexuosa, Carex debilis var rudgei, and Agrostis perennans. Dense coverage of Rubus hispidus.
