		<title>Discover the Unique Cranberry Glades Botanical Area in West Virginia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Cranberry Glades Botanical Area consists of four bog wetlands in the Monongahela National Forest in Pocahontas County.&#160; The 750 acre area is located high in the Allegheny Mountains, and it is a wonderful place to see a very unique habitat that supports a fascinating array of plants and wildlife.&#160; 
Like other bog areas more typical of the northern part of the United States, the ground at the Cranberry Glades is mostly made up of peat.&#160; This spongy, partially-decayed plant matter is highly acidic, and this unique habitat supports northern tundra plants and animals that normally would not grow in West Virginia.&#160; Visitors can see rare and beautiful plants, many birds and other wildlife thriving in this special habitat at the Cranberry Glades.
