On Sunday, June 14, 9-11 a.m., join Hidden Valley Nature Center (HVNC) in Jefferson for an in depth look at the fascinating world of bogs. “Bog Life: Curious Plants and Unusual Adaptations” will offer visitors an opportunity to observe and learn about carnivorous plants, floating mats of moss, beautiful orchids, and so much more.
Dr. Robert Zottoli, Professor Emeritus at Fitchburg University in New York, and Master Naturalist Chuck Dinsmore will lead visitors on a walk along the margins of the bog and on the 220-foot boardwalk extending into the heart of the wetland. The bog boardwalk allows visitors to take a very close look at this iconic habitat without damaging it.
All are welcome to attend. The cost is $10 for HVNC, SVCA, PWA, SWLA and DLWA members; $12 for all others. Come prepared to walk about one mile on well-maintained trails, and dressed for the weather.
