I have a bog in my backyard in Winooski #865452
Asked April 22, 2024, 2:19 PM EDT
Our backyard has a bog that we are trying to manage in a restorative way if possible. The problem is that it is the lowest point in our city block in Winooski. Despite the presence of two fully grown curly willows and numerous wetland-loving plantings, it has just gotten wetter over the past year or so --- it almost dried out (other than the trenched areas) once last summer, but has been almost a mud pit ever since. There is a city storm water drain a foot or two away in the neighbors yard that takes some of the water. Help!

Good morning Kathie.....
We think the best resource for you would be the Winooski Resources Conservation District. They have a program called Storm Smart that should be able to help you.
Thank you
