Windswept Bog in Nantucket, MA is a stunning conservation property that spans 231 acres and features retired cranberry bogs, hardwood forests, shrub swamps, and freshwater ponds, providing a diverse habitat for a wide range of plants and animals. Once a certified organic cranberry bog, the area is now undergoing restoration to become a naturally functioning wetland, while the surrounding protected land offers miles of walking trails that connect to thousands of additional acres of Foundation-owned land in the Middle Moors.
With its rich history and scenic beauty, Windswept Bog is a hidden gem on the island, offering visitors a secluded and picturesque experience. The Foundation aims to restore the wetland, enhance native species habitat, and improve water quality, all while ensuring public access and enjoyment of the property. Stump Pond, a unique human-made wetland within the bog, adds to the ecological value of the area, with its old-growth hardwood forest and remnants of the former cranberry bog operation.
