WI 8. Hub City Bog. Acreage: ca. 50. 



Location: Richland County, Richland Center 15' Quadrangle; 0.3 mile N of 

 Hub City; reached via Rt. 80. 



Description: Contains a rare "driftless area" tamarack bog of 8 acres sur- 

 rounded by shrub carr and grass marsh. Several small springs occur in the 

 tamarack; also a north-facing sandstone bluff with excellent cover of hemlock, 

 white pine, and other northern plant species along a small trout stream feeder of 

 the Pine River. 



Encroachments: Part of the grass marsh had been cultivated in past years and 

 an old sawmill exists on several acres of upland adjacent to the tamarack. The 

 town of Henrietta has recently leased 5 acres of the tamarack for a refuse dump. 

 Dumping has already covered some tamarack.
