Observation Narrative	A very small, but nearly pristine example of a rare ultramafic fen community type. Shrub invasion of this small opening is a potential threat, but appears to be quite slow due to harsh edaphic conditions. Plot occupies most of the southern of two small fen openings on west side of creek. Center line bears N03W through opening; midpoint of center line marked with white PVC pipe.
