Landscape Narrative	Landscape Description: The site is situated in a wide valley of the Wildcat Brook and is bordered by upland limestone forest to the SE and lowland Acer rubrum swamp and Acer-Populus lowland forest to the south. To the east of the fen complex lies an extensive Typha-dominated wetland (formerly fen) and to the west is Old Prospect Road and residential development on large lots. A beaver-impounded fen lies to the N and E of the large turfy juniper fen. Fen communities present include: turfy juniper, marl seep, shrub carr and deep peat. Area has been historically ditched and grazed. Surrounding upland is largely residential. Surrounding wetland valley is in very good condition. Landscape Structure and Extent: Adjacent communities include marl seep to the south, beaver-impounded fen and a band of Carex stricta dominated fen to the north, an extensive Typha wetland (old fen) to the east.

Observation Narrative	Community Description: There is a diverse mix of grasses, sedges, forbs, and shrubs on organic-mineral soil (organic-clay) over sand. Organic matter/staining is moist but not saturated. Microtopography is essentially flat. Shrub cover is variable throughout the community but cover approaches 100% in some areas with Viburnum lentago and Juniperus. Other areas are 100% open canopy cover. Area is soon to be grazed by horse and goat (landowner decision).
