The uplands around the bog are home to birds and wildlife. We have a couple of wild turkeys around, eating seeds from weeds along the roads and trails that connect various parts of the bog. Some of these roads are logging roads that date back some 70 years. The uplands also show some signs of glaciation as well.... bare rocks with striations created by rocks scraping the roots of the Muskoka Mountains or erratics, large boulders sitting alone in the forest. I took a little drive thru the wet bush to reach the other side of the bog. Although it was a gray day, and the colors were muted, there were splashes of color. In the summer the bush can be so green. So many different shades of green, so much life... the forest never ceases to amaze me.
