Landscape Narrative	Botanical Area adjacent to a wilderness. Wetter "bog" areas are dominated by Sphagnum and Cottongrass. Swamp woodlands with white pine appear to be expanding in size.;Dryer center of large open wetland dominated by Cladina lichen species and Polytrichum moss. Deep peat deposit. Deep water table, but water is held in the peat up to the surface though lichens suspend themselves in a xeric environment. Deer trails go through hummocks and are dominated by Rhynchospora alba.
