Mother’s Day art by my teen. Inspired by artwork I saw in Kangerlussuaq Greenland. Didn’t she do an amazing job with this styled landscape?

Boglands made it onto Waterstone’s looks to books series. So hoping we can create a movement of bog love and advocacy.
Bogs are beautiful….
Muskeg is marvelous….
Peat is neat….
…..and they all stabilize our climate. Please thank a bog today.

Last fall, this deep sinkhole appeared at one of our field sites,
with ground collapse happening in just a few weeks. This is what abrupt permafrost thaw looks like, with implications for soil stability, erosion, and methane emissions. Will be curious to see what happens here this summer.

Bog witches of the world. It’s time. ♥️
Boglands around the world are considered wastelands and continue to be destroyed to make room for more “productive” land. With this ignorance, we lose some of the most beautiful, diverse, and innovative ecosystems-and one of our best climate allies. Please share and become a #BogChampion.
