Landscape Narrative	This seep is separated by a narrow zone of forest from a larger wetland centered on an old beaver dam. Forest is mixed spruce/northern hardwood with many high elevation elements (Dryopteris campyloptera, Vaccinium erythrocarpum.;Forest seep with a narrow canopy gap formed in part by trees killed by flooding and in part by poor tree establishment in wet soil. Area recieves sediment and runoff from uphill. Herbaceous community with mixed forb/graminoid composition. Nearby boardwalk. Large clearing uphill (man made).
Representativeness	Most of seep is in plot but it continues in a more narrow zone uphill and downhill.
