WSPA Annual Meeting followed by:
Bogs and Fens
August 20 5:00 PM WSPA Annual Meeting followed by:
Bogs and Fens at 6:00 PM with Tom Eid
Bogs in New England were created thousands of years ago by the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Wisconsin Glaciation Period. They are not just places to visit, but living environments, unique unto their own. Each supports a diverse habitat of flora and fauna within its waters, along its banks, and integrated within a larger watershed. They transcend time, being both patient and persistent. Bogs, fens, and peatlands share common features of containing layers of decayed and decaying plant materials known as peat. Bogs are a special place all of their own.
