Coastal Explorations – How to build a wetland – August 4 – Grades entering 3 – 6

Most of our region’s cranberry bogs were once white cedar swamps or other wetlands. Because of the manipulation of the water when the bogs are made, an abandoned bog needs help to recover to a wetland habitat. We will explore the geology, hydrology, and ecology of a restored cranberry bog at Grassi Pond in Marion and discover the value of diverse wetland habitats. Location may have to be switched to museum due to inclement weather.  Meet at Grasi Bog
