I was out touring a local inner city bog yesterday "Camosun Bog" to take a few photo's but was only able to take about four pics before my batteries ran out.
This restoration project is located approximately two miles from where I live. You can see their website and read about the efforts put forth by the restoration project at Camosun Bog (http://www.naturalhistory.bc.ca/CamosunBog/)
I did have an opportunity for a couple related photo's however while I was there. It appears that most of the plants are just coming out of dormancy so I will return in a few weeks for more photo's.

This first one is of the true sign of spring here on the coast.

This other photo is of a Deer fern growing among live Sphagnum moss...

Sounds like an interesting site.
It has a very interesting website too. Maybe it can be used as a blueprint to restoring other bogs.
