My sit spot is nested on the side of a hill where a northern hardwood forest mixed with pines meets a wetland. Where I am actually seated, on the trunk of a large downed white pine, is surrounded by hemlocks and maples. This spot would be classified as a northern hardwood community based on the tree species there, in the understory, and in the surrounding area. The area I look out over is a wetland. There should be cat-tails and other native wetland plants there, however phragmites have taken it over. Still, this community would be classified as a wetland.
