[SEMCO] Orleans Conservation Trust- Namequoit Bog Educational Walk Recap

Educational Walk Recap

On Thursday, July 17, Kris Ramsay, Director of the Orleans Conservation Trust (OCT),
led a walk through and around Namequoit Bog, a 22.5 acre parcel, while touching 
on interesting details and historical facts about the property. 17.5 acres of this
parcel is recognized as a wetland, which had been actively farmed as a cranberry
 bog up until the 1950s. The drainage ditches and sluiceway associated with cranberry
cultivation are still visible today, but when the farming activities ceased, the
 rest of the wetland, left unmaintained, grew in with dense thickets of briars. 
Since the mid-2000s, OCT has been determinedly working to remove the monoculture
 of briars and encourage the re-establishment and growth of native freshwater wetland
trees, such as the Atlantic White Cedar, shrubs, sedges, rushes, and grasses.
