Seney National Wildlife Refuge is home to some of the most unique landscapes in Michigan. Discover the surprising story behind Seney's Strangmoor Bog—how it formed, why it isn’t quite what its name suggests, and the remarkable plants and wildlife that thrive there.
We welcome a $5-10 suggested donation to support watershed protection. This event is open to all ages.
