This is a picture of a unique landscape in Higley Flow State Park that I noticed while cross-country skiing. This habitat would be a wetland area surrounded by a hardwood forest consisting of primarily white pines on the perimeter. As seen in the picture, during the winter months the moisture freezes over and there are a few animal tracks near the bottom because crossing over the wetland is a more direct route. I thought this picture was interesting because there is a lot of diversity in plant life near this wetland that includes multiple layers. In the inside there are several dead trees, as you look outward there is a low shrub line followed by the numerous pine trees.
