Observation Narrative
Open seepage bog along the upper west branch near Rt. 826 below Cash Hollow Road. This site is a small opening in a much larger saturated forest and likely represents a disturbance that removed the trees, the major species of which are all beginning to recruit into the opening. Hydrophytic sedges and grasses are prominent in the dense herbaceous mix.
