[Journal entry for September 19, 2017; Quincy Bog Natural Area]. As part of Springwater Fieldtrip H17, Dallas and I stopped at Quincy Bog Natural Area, Rumney New Hampshire. We parked at the lot at the end of Quincy Bog Road and walked partway around the wetland along a trail that was party dirt and partly over puncheons. The late afternoon sun illuminated the bog well, with pleasant amber hues from the marsh grass and a little red from maples in the woods along the margin. The “bog” is more of a “marsh”, since the primary vegetation is grass, not moss. The center of the wetland is flooded, perhaps due to beaver activity, for a lodge sits in the middle of the open water and a dam spans a tributary stream. Water lily and grass hummocks grow in the water. Fern and occasional Winterberry grow along the shore. About 0:40.
