Comments: In extensive subalpine forb-dominated
meadow complex, in Granby Provincial Park, straddling boundary
between Arrow and Boundary Forest Districts. Area appears to have
been subject to a very intense burn several decades ago. Popular
area for recreational horse riding. Due to continuing problems
with snowload and fence maintenance, the exclosure is no longer
maintained, but the permanent transects remain.
