Cover Type Old -field, pasture, wet meadow, forest Site Description An open rich fen that is largely sedge and moss dominated. A remarkable site for botanical reasons, both in number of species contained in the site (plenty of rare and scarce ones) and the number of plants of an open rich fen that is largely sedge and moss dominated. A botonanically remarkable site both in number of species contained in the site (plenty of rare and scarce ones) and the number of plants of Trollius laxus. Open fen meadow is bordered on the east by hemlock forest. The site is quite heterogeneous; there are higher acidic hummocks as well as parts of the site that are much wetter than others. Many characteristic species as well as dwarfed Tsuga trees are present. Significance Botanical: rare community, rare and scarce species. Probably largest population of Trollius laxus in eastern North America. One of the best and best -preserved fens in the county Large concentrations of sundews and showy lady slippers.

(Communities, Significant/Unusual Features, Species, Age, Structure, etc.) Rich fen is largely dominated by sedges (Carex spp.) and mosses. Areas are also dominated by Rhamnus alnifolia or the taller, coarser Carex lacustris, but these are smaller in extent. Throughout the fen there are scattered dwarfed trees, especially Tsuga. Plant cover is mostly quite low and open and moss cover beneath the vascular plants is nearly continuous throughout. Characteristic species include: Trollius laxus, Carex interior, Cypripedium reginae, Eriophonum viridi-carinaturm, Senecio aureus, Geum rivale, Spiranthes romanzoffiana, Rhamnus alnifolia, and Ribes hirtellum.

Seepage is cold and diffuse. The soils are highly organic. Vegetation consists of patches that are dominated by Rhamnus alnifolia shrubs and patches dominated by sedges and forbs. Beneath the taller plants there is a nearly continuous cover of wet moss. There are scattered shrubs and small trees of Amelanchier spp., Tsuga (dwarfed), Salix spp. and Vaccinium corymbosum. .

Beneath both of these canopies the cover of mosses is nearly continuous. Dominant herbs: Carex sp. Characteristic species: Thalictrum pubescens, Geum rivale, Equisetum spp., Trollius laxus, Thelypteris palustris, Smilacina stellata, Solidage patula, Lilium canadense, and Senecio aureus. Dominant mosses include: Tomenthypnum ritens, Sphagnum warnstorfii and Amacomnium palustre. (see site description.)

There is a definite history of use as pasture - which continues now. Potential for recovery is excellent as all the characteristic fen species are still intact, and the habitat appears unaltered. Adjacent Land Use pastures, woodlots Threats to Site Grazing and trampling by cattle. Site appears to be in an active cow pasture. I Vulnerability of Site to Visitors site is quite fragile. Special Conservation/Management Needs Keeping cattle out of best parts of the site would be desirable. Some management might be needed to keep fen open. Ideally fen openings should be surrounded in forest. This would mean allowing the surrounding pasture to grow up to trees.
