Jan 5. 1918 White Cedar Swamp L. Mercer. E. J. Billy & I walked to the Coast White Cedar Swamp at Mercer Described in a pamphlet by Herman Taylor, Brooklyn Botanic Garden Fair Clear Cold Morning. Left home at 8.10 & reached the swamp at Bunkers pond at 10.15 , partly exploring it- until 12.45. Everything but- the stream frozen solid. This is a most interesting place and should in Spring Summer & Autumn be attractive to botanists. Very rough & also the trees below Bunkers pond are being cut down & part have been destroyed by fire.
