Very long heterogenous fen with marked spots of high diversity and other large weedy zones. Fen elevated on norther and southern margins and depressed near central lakes (2). Bordered on north by woodland as well as on southern edge, but southern edge has a railroad and nearby row-crop agriculture. Typhaspp. appear to be heavily impacting fen. High quality sedge meadow on south side of Long Lake. Just north of concentrated pocket of Poweshiek (about 70m north). Common species include Carex sterilis, Dasiphora fruticosa, Rudbeckia fulgida, Muhlenbergia richardsonis, Schoenoplectus pungens, S. acutus, Symphyotrichum laeve, and Solidago ohioensis. Ground hummocky and moist.
