Bog Day Celebrations 2026
Dill Road Bog
On Saturday, October 10th, the Cypress Creek Community turned out to learn about the bog nearly hidden in their community, but providing essential habitat for rare plants and animals, and cleaner water entering the Magothy River. Community member and Watershed Steward, Amanda Zepp, led the Bog Day event, including planting Atlantic white cedar trees and removing invasive plants from the bog. An interpretive sign about the bog was also installed with the support of the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Watershed Protection & Restoration to commemorate the bog and continue to educate the community.
The Magothy River Land Trust co-sponsored a Bog Day Celebration with CER on Sunday, October 4th at the Magothy River Greenway. Led by Sally Hornor, volunteers cleaned bags of trash from stormwater runoff polluting the headwaters of the South Gray’s Creek bog. An interpretive sign was installed with the support of the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Watershed Protection & Restoration and the Department of Recreation & Parks.
