Prairie fen with a large proportion of marl with many cedar-tamarack patches. Lots of Typha angustifolia and the invasive Phragmites australis in the southern portion. A wide variety of Carex fruiting, but few Toxicodendron vernix and the ones seen are usually under 1m. Many rivulets and holes (I fell upto my hip). Not as peaty as other prairie fens in most places. Some management in the northern section by NOHLC, a burn several years ago and woody plant removal. In northern portion of eastern jut, 60m south of border and 40m west of eastern border. Can see a house to the east. Carex and Typha dominated with occasional tree and shrub (Cedar, tamarack, Toxicodendron vernix). Ground moist to wet, +/- even.
Population - Abundant, but not dense in this exact location, fruiting.
