Black spruce-tamarack bog wetland complex (Mohawk watershed headwater)
This was one of my favorite field survey sites from 2019! Our ecological survey focused on characterizing the wetland plant community, and assessing wetland health and function. We saw orchids, carnivorous plants, pollinators, and Odonates.
Below are some of my favorite species observations from that survey.
