Happy World Wetlands Day!! A day to highlight these magical and important wildernesses 💕 These sphagnum mosses like a galaxy of wonder within the bog pools... @scohaboybog.bsky.social @peatlandecr.bsky.social

I love bogs. They are stinky, slimy, and utterly weird. They also store more carbon than any other ecosystem, clean water, provide food, and protect unique biodiversity such as meat-eating plants. Are you a big bog lover too?
