Landscape Narrative	Upland edge to the west with Northern hardwoods, swamp woodland to the east with hemlock, larch over Rhododendron. Large wetland complex in an agricultural setting.;Acidic bog dominated by Sphagnum, Drosera, Juncus, and Rhyncospora. Relatively flat surface with some hummocks around Osmunda clumps.
