	View of the fen ecosystem. The grasses and sedges in the foreground are the indicator plants that make up the fen. The fen runs along the east-side of 224th Street in Maple Ridge. In the background are the hardhack bushes and willows of a transitional zone between the fen and the bog proper.
	A small marshy ecosystem between the riparian area and the bog proper. This area is characterized by bulrushes and sedges.
	The path to Blaney Bog winds through a riparian ecosysem. A riparian ecosystem is a transitional zone between aquatic environments and uplands that are drier. A typical riparian area hosts plants such as rushes, sedges, grasses, shrubs and deciduous trees. In the riparian area that lead to the bog proper, alder, hardhack, maple, Indian plum and blackberries line the path.
