The Eastern Himalayan region consists of oaks, laurels, maples, rhododendrons, alder, birch and dwarf willows. The trees found were oak, alder and willow. The collection consists of perennial and annual plants, aquatic plant, spruce, fir, and alder trees. It is also characterised by bigleaf maple, red alder, sword fern, and red huckleberry. Coppicing of willow, alder and poplar for energy wood has proven commercially successful. Rowan, aspen, willow, grey alder, and bird cherry are common in the lower elevations. The nest is built in cattails, rushes, grasses, sedge, or in alder or willow bushes. The river floodplains contained extensive wetlands, stands of willow, alder, and cottonwood, and gallery forests. In wet areas alder and willows were used. Along the riverbanks, species like the black alder and willows can be found. Wetlands with a lot of alder and willow are another prime location to see them. Younger turtles may bask on sedge and alder hummocks. The Alder Creek camp fared no better. He also neglected to mention any cannibalism at Alder Creek. Archaeological findings at the Alder Creek camp proved inconclusive for evidence of cannibalism.
