[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] 36 [[underlined]] Alder Swamp [[/underlined]] Back of the lake are alder swamps left dry by a succession of dry seasons, but usually flooded from the lake. The low stocky spreading (sprawling) alders give the character to the swamps. ^ [[insertion]] They [[/insertion]] grow in clusters sometimes spaced with rocks & ferns so that you have a passage way; at others making a network so it is hard to fit through. Cow trails help, but few. In the hollows which are probably filled with water in normal years ferns find rich damp earth, & reguly take advantage of it.
