Landscape Narrative ? Surrounding upland is privately owned and is subject to logging. The upland forest is a young black cherry, sugar maple, yellow birch forest. In between the wetland and the upland is a transitional zone of Vaccinium myrtilloides-Pteridium / Polytrichum hummock community. Downstream is a small patch of Hypericum densiflorum (see CVWR.17). Upstream is another small patch of Hypericum in the old beaver pond.;Mid-successional area between two breached beaver ponds. Somewhat fragmented, with small openings along the old drainage (Carex scoparia, Scirpus cyperinus). Cleared by beaver but there is no current beaver sign.
