| Landscape Narrative |
Landscape Description: Coastal plain intermittent pond (former cranberry bog) in forest wetland that extends east. Rhexia virginica - Panicum verrucosum Herbaceous Vegetation dominates the central to upper zones of the pond (A2, A3, A4). The adjacent upper pondshore (A5) along the northern edge of the pond is dominated by Panicum rigidulum var. pubescens, with Panicum verrucosum, Rhexia mariana, Juncus canadensis and scattered Cephalanthus occidentalis. A band of Cephalanthus occidentalis grows along the northern edge of the pond and a few shrubs are scattered in the center of the pond. A dense shrub and forested wetland zone (A1) surrounds the pond dominated by Acer rubrum, Nyssa sylvatica and Vaccinium corymbosum, with Quercus alba, Q. palustris, Liquidambar styraciflua, Pinus rigida, Smilax rotundifolia, Clethra alnifolia and Gaultheria procumbens. Route 527 is immediately west of the site, but forested wetlands extend east into Turkey Swamp. Homes, golf courses and some agricultural fields and cranberry bogs occupy the surrounding area, but forested wetlands associated with the South Branch and Turkey Swamp are the dominant feature of the surrounding buffer area.
