habitat restoration

Volunteer Workday @ Lydick Bog

Lydick Bog is truly a place like no other. The rare bog habitat is home to many delicate and unique plant species, and all manner of wildlife and fungi thrive on the floating mat of peat- and the forest and field around it. Propagating native plants in an ecosystem like this one is crucial to preserving the species diversity and quality of habitat in the preserve.
