Ocean Spray is a cooperative company, owned by 700 cranberry farmers. The average farm is just 18 acres. #cranberries #bogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4h-W6cHWj8

A long walk today around the Roman Wall Loughs looking at some of the rewetting work which has been taking place recently on the peat lands. Lots of grips blocked, lots more water in the landscape, and hopefully lots more fen, more wildlife habitat and lots more peat safely sequestering carbon

The place serves a mean hot meatloaf sandwich, and when I thanked the waitress I asked if they got many bog people this time of year.
“You guys keep us alive thought the winter,” she said, referring to me as a bog person.

www.startribune.com · Brown: I grew up in a Minnesota bog the size of New York City; I didn’t know it was special.The Sax-Zim Bog in northern Minnesota is considered to be one of the world’s most interesting natural places where you can easily see the inner workings of a boreal forest. It also becomes a mecca for bird watchers in the winter.
In the 1980s, archaeologists uncovered 168 ancient skeletons from the peat at the bottom of Windover Pond.#burialplaces #bogs #archaeology #nativeamericans #bogbodies #abeginnersguidetotheafterlife #columns #section-Articles

First foraging outing for cranberries. For ease of access, we went to the bog that apparently *Everyone* knows about and picks over. We still managed a small amount in 25 mins. Tomorrow, it's off to the bogs that I believe few know about or take the trouble to hike to. #foraging #ProvinceLands #PTown #dunes #bogs #cranberries

Scottish #bog gets world heritage status https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv2gz1p2v12o
After an almost 40-year campaign, a stunning but little-known UK landscape has been awarded world heritage status. The #FlowCountry of Caithness and Sutherland in the far north of #Scotland covers almost 2,000 sq km of one of the most intact and extensive blanket bog systems in the world. Blanket #bogs are wetland ecosystems created when #peat, a #soil made up of partially decayed matter, accumulates in waterlogged conditions.

Cleaned the bogs. I wear a rubber glove and do it manually. I can't stand bog brushes.
Afterwards one of my fingers was wet.

Measurements from stations around the world show that #methane levels have increased significantly since the early 2000s.
According to the report, the main reason is that more methane has been released from wetland areas such as #bogs, shallow #wells , #ponds, and #lakes in tropical regions.
And as it gets warmer, more is released.
“The temperature change leads to increased microbiological activity,” researcher Stephen Matthew Platt says. He is one of the researchers behind the new study.
Processes like #decomposition in wetlands happen faster when it gets warmer.
Another reason for the increase in methane emissions is that #permafrost has begun to #thaw in the north.
“When the permafrost thaws, it also leads to more water on the surface, and this development is underway,” explains Platt.
