Spring/Summer Ponemah Bog Sanctuary Walks
If you are interested in learning more about the bog of wildlife in general please join us for a bog walk. All walks last 1 to 1-1/2 hours, are free, and are open to the public. The walks follow the boardwalk that meanders across Ponemah Bog's sphagnum peat mat. Each walk, led by a different leader, is different due to the seasonal progression of blooming plants and the variety of wildlife that inhabits the bog. Bring Binoculars and bug spray.
