| Molly Bog
is a classic example of a northeastern kettlehole bog, illustrating textbook
zonation from open water to evergreen forest. The bog complex involves
a two-acre pond skirted by four distinct zones; each characterized by
a particular community type. In addition to the bog, this 35-acre natural
area includes a spruce-fir swamp and an adjacent upland hardwood forest.
Although somewhat remote, the area has been studied by UVM scientists
and is frequented by local naturalists and researchers. |
