Summary

[edit]
Description The foliage of bog blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum) shrubs turns pink in the autumn. These leaves are beginning to fall. Lodgepole pines provide a contrasting backdrop to the berry bushes in a muskeg in Sitka, AK. Muskegs, a colloquial term for peat bogs, blanket 10% of the Tongass National Forest. These wetlands range in size from a few square feet to many acres. Over the ages, muskegs formed as Sphagnum mosses, rushes and sedges grew and built up spongy carpets in these very wet, almost treeless areas. Photo by Mary Stensvold.
