NORWAY — Witt Swamp, the 141-acre preserve owned by the Western Foothills Land Trust, has been the site of numerous activities this summer, ranging from a woods walk to trail improvements.
The Western Foothills Land Trust reported that on July 27, a group of about 20 people, ranging in age from 5 to 85, walked through the mature forest comprised primarily of hemlock, cedar, maple, oak, ash and pine trees with forester Fred Huntress.
Trail-building volunteers Eric Rathbun and Bob Story finished a new stone staircase on the Witt trail at the end of the boardwalk for trail hikers on the mile-long loop.
On Aug. 3, a flotilla of kayakers tucked into the navigable waters of Witt bog. Kayakers saw carnivorous pitcher plants and sundews, tufted cotton grass, flowering pickerelweed, sweet-scented water lilies and cow lilies lining the route through the bog. Catie Hodgkins, one of the participants, saw turtles on nearly every sun-baked log.
