Landscape Narrative	Part of a large wetland complex with Hypericum / Spiraea shrublands in the drier portions.;Relatively undisturbed. A DNR mown path runs 200yards north of the clone. A large beaver pond is located 400 yards south. Some deer trails bisect the community, which is a uniform dense stand of Carex utriculata / Sphagnum with some standing water.
Representativeness	This is a large stand that well represents other similar Carex utriculata clones in Canaan Valley. It is probably larger than many stands.
