ASWP Bog Tour

(12 – 3-ish pm) In this tour, we will meet at the Pine Swamp Natural Area in Mercer county and explore two bogs. Bogs are ancient landforms left over from the last ice age where the only supply of water is from rain. These stagnant wetlands become acidic over time and accumulate large amounts of peat-moss. This area is rugged, there are no trails to follow, and we will have a ¾ mile hike just to reach the bogs. Please be sure to have sturdy footwear, all-weather clothing, water, and a readiness to bushwhack your way to a unique ecosystem. Attendees will be contacted with an exact location of the parking area where we will be meeting. Registration is required, please email Ryan at rstauffer@aswp.org with questions. $20 per member, $30 per nonmember
