Completed in 2019, Auggie’s Bogwalk at Fringed Gentian Bog is a place of quiet contemplation. Alder and Aspen mix in with mature Black Spruce and Tamarack, while Pink Ladyslippers can be found dotting the landscape in June and Fringed Gentians bloom from September into October. Boreal Chickadee (occasionally), Black-billed Magpie, Canada Jay, warblers, Mountain Fly Honeysuckle, Snowshoe hare, and more all call this habitat home at one time of the year or another.
