Landscape Narrative	Large beaver influenced wetland surrounded by spruce / highbush cranberry forest on slope bottom giving way to mixed spruce - northern hardwood mountain slopes. Wetland includes several sedge communities, Alder swamp, cinnamon fern beaver burn, St. Johnswort shrubland, and Solidago herb types.;Low terrace behind a breached beaver dam with a meandering stream. The low banked stream frequently floods this community. Soft fine sediment with some more course inclusions along the streamlet. Patchy dominance by Eleocharis, Sparganium, and Leersia oryzoides. Abundant driftwood from past beaver burn.
Representativeness	Narrow zone of new stream terrace behind an old beaver dam. Combines dominance by three mud flat species which occur in more pure patches elsewhere but which seem ecological equivalents.
