A Public Bog Walk through the fantastic Tannersville...

Event starts: August 25 2010

A Public Bog Walk through the fantastic Tannersville Cranberry Bog will be led by a naturalist from the Monroe County Environmental Education Center (MCEEC) from 10:00am until 12:30pm.
The bog is special as it is a northern boreal bog, which is very unique for this part of the country.

Protected by The Nature Conservancy, the Tannersville bog is a National Natural Landmark.
Signs of life will be everywhere as the group ventures into this unique wetland habitat, which includes many orchids and insect-eating plants! Access to the interior of the bog is substantial along a 1650' "floating boardwalk, making for spectacular photo opportunities.
Highlights include viewing plants which may be blooming, like orchids, cranberries, sheep laurel, marsh marigold, bog rosemary, bog laurel, wild calla and others.
Meet for this walk at the MCEEC near Bartonsville.
Pre-registration is required and the cost to attend is $5.
Call the MCEEC at (570) 629-3061 to register.
