Pitcher-Plant
Unique ecosystem in a costal bog. Bogs are home to plants that tolerate cold temperatures, acid conditions, low oxygen, and little nitrogen. Some plants that you may see are: leatherleaf, sheep laurel, black spruce, Labrador tea, pitcher plant, and cotton grass; subarctic species, such as baked-apple berry and black cranberry; and lichens, such as reindeer moss and Icelandic moss. Listed as a National Landmark.
An easy, one-mile round-trip walk leads to an unusual coastal plateau bog (also known as a heath) with sub-arctic and arctic plants rarely seen south of Canada. Shrubs predominate, par- ticularly black crowberry, baked appleberry and Labrador tea, along with carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants and sun- dew. A second bog at the property’s western boundary, Carrying Place Cove Bog, is a National Natural Landmark.
