Observation Narrative
Plot directions: Park on Longstreet Drive in residential area. Park on east side of road and walk north to plot location.
An unusual wetland, apparently influenced by perched groundwater (over hardpan?), on a nutrient-poor gently rolling upland. Veg has more affinities to Coastal Plain depression wetlands than to Piedmont Upland depression swamps.
