This boardwalk spans over a wetland nestled in this hillside. Rainwater seeps down through the glacial deposits further up this hillside. The calcium contained in the deposits increases the water’s pH, which collects to saturate the soil in this area. These conditions favor plants typical to a mineral-rich fen, which supports grasses, sedges, and wildflowers.
