This RARE BOG Was Almost Destroyed by a Gravel Mine — Ep. 057

As a student at Cornell, Summer Rayne remembered touring the rare bogs and fens of the region. Here she meets up with retired professor, Bob Beck, to go on a tour of the fens, bogs, and wetlands of the O.D. von Engeln Preserve at Malloryville, which is permanently protected by the Nature Conservancy. This bog and wetland area was threatened by an open gravel mine upstream, but local citizens came together to protect it, so this land is representative of what happens when people care and get together to do something about it.
