I found a stand of these trees at the beginning of the Ponkapoag Pond Bog Trail There is standing water at the base, but it is still pretty close to the higher ground.
These could be the same tree as the smaller ones out in the bog mat, but the needles are a little different and the bark is ridged and darker than the silvery bark of the cedars on the mat. Plus, a checklist identified white cedar as being in the area.

Found this tiny spider while looking at plants along the Ponkapoag Pond Bog Trail. The spider was located well out in the floating mat part, but it likely doesn't matter to it.

Found at the edge of the mat in the pond. These appear different than the other cedars at the beginning of the Ponkapoag Pond Bog Trail, but it may just be that the trees at the beginning are more mature.
