Water Resources Engineer Jonas Procton joins the podcast to talk about the benefits of restoring cranberry bogs to look more like the wetlands and river systems that they once were. Cranberry cultivation remains an important piece of southeastern Massachusetts' agricultural heritage. As some smaller bogs enter retirement, however, their position within and along waterways provides an opportunity to return to a natural state. By removing water control structures, removing sand added during cranberry production, and unearthing buried native plant seed stocks, these former bogs can be returned to scenic and healthy ecosystems providing benefits to the community of people and critters that surround them.
