Landscape Narrative ? Shrub thicket of Alnus and Viburnum with sedge dominated herb layer. Some of these thickets appear to be where the stream takes abrupt turns. Perhaps they represent deposition areas where higher ground promotes shrub dominance. -- Small patch bound to the east by a very inundated area of herbs and to the west by hardwood forests. No clearing or game plots in site or trails in the area.
