Verbatim Date: Sept. 14, 1975
Locality:
United States, Wisconsin, Columbia, NW corner jct. Hwy U and Baraboo River
43.501871 -89.477023 +-152m. WGS84
Verbatim Coordinates:
TRS: T12N R9E sec 19 NE1/4 of SW1/4
Habitat:
edges of sloughs in riverbottom floodplain hardwood forest; Ulmus americana-Acer saccharinum-Fraxinus pennsylvanica var. subintegerrima community; circumneutral mineral soil of clay & silt
Occurrence Remarks:
Since this is the only (or possibly one of two) stands of swamp forest remaining along the Baraboo R. worthy of mention, and since it contains the easternmost &/or the only inland (i.e., non-Wisconsin, non-Mississippi River) stations of several of the species listed above, this stand is certainly worthy of preservation. However, diseased elms and other species have just been cut out, badly degrading it.
