| Landscape Narrative |
Landscape Description: Part of the Ogdensburg Valley complex. The site is surrounded by marginal forested lowlands and forested swamp dominated by Acer rubrum. The wetland is bordered by a school, houses and some industrial development. There is a large Typha marsh at the center of the wetland with calcareous species and Carex stricta, Acer rubrum, Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda, and Salix sp. with varying canopy cover. Typha marsh grades into, and out of, calcareous fen and marl seep.
Landscape Structure and Extent: Adjacent communities include a patch of Acer rubrum-Carex stricta swamp, turfy juniper fen, and a patch of Carex stricta-Cornus amomum-Salix-Dasiphora dominated fen.

Fairly resistant to succession but invasive Salix sp. is found in adjacent areas. Carex stricta is encroaching and may spread if stormwater continues to be a problem.
