Projects
The Friends of Volo Bog projects are an important part of our history, and the pond in front of the Visitor’s Center is only one of many of our projects, but it is one that most people notice. The article below is from the 2004 Fall issue of the Bog Log. The pond is an ongoing project, because it is the Friends that maintain it. Below the article are some photos of the pond as it is now. Summer time photos will be added later.
