This hike with Rebekah Bergkoetter, Stewardship Manager, will include an expansive view of a unique landform, a brief history of the geologic history, and discussions about the general ecology of this particular type of wetland. With favorable conditions, there is also an opportunity to see infrastructure from decades past and to test the load bearing qualities of floating mats of moss.Due to fire restrictions, we will not drive on the road to the fen, but we will hike it!
