About Me
Hi, I’m Sarah! I became interested in bogs during a field trip with my freshwater ecology class in college. Since then, I’ve traveled all over the U.S. in the pursuit of a career in environmental science. My many odd jobs and master’s degree finally landed me in Portland, ME where I am surrounded by New England’s iconic glaciated landscape which bears an abundance of bogs. I started this blog to share my experiences with you and to hopefully inspire your own bogventures!
