BACK FIELD NETS
(13 TOTAL in seven sets of one to four nets)

    These nets are situated east of Crisp Pond.  The majority of the nets (Nets 1-8, & 13) are in upland situations, specifically, late successional old field habitat with scattered taller trees.  This area is maintained at a the mature shrub and low sapling stage by periodic cutting of taller trees.  Immediately to the south of the Back Field Nets is an extensive area of mature second growth deciduous forest.

Dominant shrub species in the upland sites within the Back Field Net area include multiflora rose, Morrow's honeysuckle, blackhaw viburnum, autumn olive, gray-stemmed dogwood; characteristic trees include hawthorn, ash, red maple, black cherry, wild crabapple, and flowering dogwood.

Nets 9-12 are situated within or at the edge of seasonally flooded shrub wetland habitats that are dominated by willow, blackhaw viburnum, and silky dogwood (note boardwalks associated with these nets in the photos below).
