Quaking Bogs & Fens of Massachusetts with Mass Audubon (VIRTUAL)
Wednesday, September 37:00—8:00 PMONLINEBeebe Library345 Main Street, Wakefield, MA, 01880

This is a Virtual Program.
Scattered amongst the better-known habitats of the Commonwealth are the little-explored regions of quaking bogs and peaty-soiled fens. Sunken in the lowest contours of the landscape, these habitats' unique features include carnivorous plants, flood water absorbing sphagnum moss, showy orchids, and blueberries and cranberries. Because decomposition happens so slowly, the soil and water in bogs are very acidic which creates an opportunity for specialized species to thrive. Learn where to discover the intrigue of these fascinating habitats close to home. Led by Patti Steinman, the Education Coordinator for Mass Audubon’s Connecticut River Valley Sanctuaries, based out of Arcadia in Easthampton and Northampton.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Library in partnership with the Tewksbury Public Library.
