Observation Narrative ? A fairly typical forested seepage swamp occupying the braided drainage of a small, headwaters stream with relatively infertile soils. Pinus rigida was formerly a scattered overstory tree here, but most specimens were killed by a southern pine beetle outbreak ca. 10 years ago. Plot located along headwaters of Canada Run, just east and south of Coal Road at parking area for trail to Spring Pond.
