Landscape Narrative	The plot is located on the edge of private land which has several old strip mines located on it. Although they appear to be located above the next drainage to the east "Tub Run". This wetland is surrounded by a dense even aged stand of Picea rubens. The wetland itself is made up of two main communities. This community and a drier Vaccinium myrtilloides - Hypericum densiflorum / Carex folliculata / Polytrichum.;Early successional herbaceous community. Historically logged and cleared. There are several old beaver cuts surrounding the wetland. The plot is located in a low area that was probably flooded by the beaver. The area is surrounded by the Monongahela National Forest and could be impacted by future logging.
