Vegetation

The vegetation in the area is extremely diverse, due to the amount of nutrients the river is able to feed the soils when it floods. During my surveying of the area, I was able to find paper birch, striped maple, sugar maple, white oak, yellow birch, basswood, american beech, and buckthorn. The vegetation is very tight and in the under growth area it is filled with smaller plants all trying to reach the sun light. Overall it seems to be a healthy area, that is about to experience a large change in the following weeks due to the coming winter.
