Observation Narrative	Small, somewhat disturbed acidic seepage swamp bisected by access road to swinging bridge over Maury River at Goshen Pass. Plot determined only after sampling to be immediately off DCR property. Stand is considerably more extensive on the southeast side of the DGIF access road, but vegetation there is more disturbed and has a much larger component of exotic species. Community here is far from pristine and bears many signs of human disturbance (toilet paper, aluminum cans). Plot placement and dimensions were constrained by fenceline, which probably corresponds to boundary of Goshen Pass NAP. Despite the small size and chronic visitor activity, this portion of the stand remains in good condition.
