Come explore these unique ecosystems through a two-part program that combines an evening presentation with a hands-on field trip to the magnificent Orono Bog.  Learn about the role of peatlands in the biosphere and investigate the Orono Bog from top to bottom (including collecting peat samples from 20 feet under the boardwalk).  The presentation the evening before the field trip will cover the basic ecology of peatlands (wetlands that are underlain by peat, including bogs and fens), and will illustrate the various kinds of peatlands, their distribution in Maine and elsewhere, and the important ecological roles they play both locally and globally.

Leader: Ron Davis, Professor Emeritus, School of Biology & Ecology, Climate Change Institute, University of Maine

Friday, May 24, 6:30-8 p.m. & Saturday, May 25, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
