A sedge and Sphagnum lined channel carrying tea colored water out of an inland poor fen in the Catskills of New York State (U.S.). Peatlands are such important features within watersheds and can form whole structures communities within forests.

Bog lovers! Please share your favorite peaty image or a photo of your favorite peatland. Not only are bogs a global carbon powerhouse, but they are incredibly beautiful and other-worldly. Let’s show them off.

A beautiful carpet bog in the southwestern Catskills range of New York State. November here provides days of stark colorful contrasts of leatherleaf, tamarack, Sphagnum mosses and the snowy white tufts of Eriophorum virginicum or cotton grass sedge. This peatland is a research site for the NYC DEP.
