Landscape Narrative	Dense spruce - Rhododendron forest surrounds this acidic beaver-impacted wetland. No exotic species or human disturbance noted within 1000m of wetland. No trails, difficult access.;Open spruce - Rhododendron woodland with tip mounds, down wood, and dead snags downstream form cottongrass bog and adjacent to beaver pond. Thick hummocky moss cover over clay soils.
Representativeness	Polygons drawn on imagery. This forested woodland is unique in that it has nearly complete Sphagnum - Polytrichum hummock cover. This swamp type repeats throughout the 2 Falls Run wetlands. This is the second largest example we saw - the largest example w
