Saturday, July 26, 8:45 a.m.  Nature Hike at Pinhook Bog
Join a ranger for a 1.5-hour walk along a floating mat of sphagnum moss and discover evergreens that lose their needles, and plants that eat insects. Fourteen thousand years in the making, and a remnant of the last Ice Age, Pinhook Bog is a rare and beautiful environment. Participants will meet at the visitor center and caravan to the bog.
