Beckley Bog, Protected swamp in Litchfield County, Connecticut.
Beckley Bog contains deep peat moss formations and sustains black spruce trees within its 12-acre wetland environment in northwest Connecticut.
The Nature Conservancy made its first Connecticut land acquisition in 1957 by purchasing Beckley Bog for environmental preservation.
Scientists and researchers regularly visit this National Natural Landmark to study wetland ecosystems and document environmental changes.
The bog remains open during daylight hours, with designated paths allowing visitors to observe the natural features while maintaining conservation standards.
This location represents the most southern sphagnum heath bog in New England, with peat moss reaching depths of over 51 feet.
