On September 8, 2022, Jess and Melissa from DER and I took the 9:30 ferry from Hyannis to Nantucket to visit Windswept Bogs, a DER priority project. The property is owned by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation and Karen Beattie, the Foundation's Vice President of Science and Stewardship and Jenn Karberg, Director of Research and Partnerships. It was a perfect day, and we were able to visit most of the bog cells, pause for lunch at stump pond, and examine some plots that had been plowed and harrowed to explore possible surface treatments.
