Eshqua Bog is a botanical wonderland of cold-climate holdovers—small pockets of bog and a two acre fen—from the post-glacial era 10,000 years ago. This preserve contains a diverse array of bog and fen plants: labrador tea, cotton grass, pitcher plants, showy lady’s slippers, larches and buckbean.
For universal accessibility, they’ve installed a 460-foot boardwalk so that more people could enjoy Eshqua’s natural treasures from its multiple viewing platforms and benches.
We’ll bring bag lunches provided by Westview Meadows’ kitchen and have a picnic lunch at nearby East End Park.
