Landscape Narrative ? See plots USFS.335,336. Transect bearing 44 degrees. Chains 1-12 passed through an open cranberry "bog". Chains 13-38 entered an alder swamp dominated by Juncus effusus, Leersia oryzoides, Carex spp. and Glyceria spp.. Chains 39-49 are still within the alder swamp with the dominant species being Hypericum densiflorum, Thelypteris novaboracensis, Polygonum saggitatum, Carex crinita, and Carex spp.. From chains 50-66 passed through the edge of an "upland" forest dominated by Tsuga canadensis then re-entered the alder thicket. From chains 67-76 entered a Tsuga canadesis - Picea rubens forest. Crossed trail at chain 73. Last three chains are out of the RNA.;Plot located on an extremely moist "bog". No trees were found in the plot. Sphagnum and Cranberry dominate the vegetation.
