Landscape Narrative	Protected nature preserve. No trails lead to this wetland. Well protected with nearly 5000 contiguous acres under construction easement or other restriction.;Sedge fern meandering through spruce forest with bear wallows (small open water depressions ~10m2) and muddy bear trails leading to the wallows.
