Canaan Mt Bog Edition September 27, 2023

Colors right around the bog coming in very well. Main color coming from maples. Which are nearing peak. Some green still exist on some, but as those change, the current best colors will begin to drop. Ground cover-heath,ferns,cotton grass are pretty much at their fall glory.

Soil and water quality researchers. I’ll attach link to their data here
