Celebrate the biodiversity of Northeastern North America's bogs, with my new Bog Life of the Northeast poster. Just added to my ETSY SHOP, as well as all the original watercolor paintings. What's your favorite bog species?

Hey Every(bog)body
As July gets started people on tumblr will invariably turn their mind to International Bog Day, and I want to get ahead of it and propose something.
Bog Day falls on the 4th Sunday in July, the 22nd the year the screenshot was taken but this year the 27th.
Given that this always takes off with the assumption that it's the 22nd, I think we should split the holiday into two forms: observed and official.
Observed will take place on the 22nd as usual, and we can celebrate it here with memes, shitpostery and bog awareness.
Official is for action and celebration away from tumblr. Make something with dolphin-safe cranberries! Find out about wetlands in your area! Visit them if open to the public! Sign up to volunteer with orgs that protect them! Donate to nonprofits looking to preserve them! They’re very vulnerable habits - ever more so in the U.S. after the devastating Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency decision from the supreme court in 2023, which limits the Clean Water Act and took protection away from the majority of the nation’s wetlands. The Audubon Society is one of the orgs working to look after them in the face of that, and Wetlands International has a fund you can donate to help monitor the areas used by migratory waterbirds, but I encourage you to do your own research and find ones that speak to you. It’s worth it - they are so important to natural world and the one built by humans alike.
(If you are in the southern hemisphere and this doesn’t appeal to you in the middle of winter, World Wetlands Day is February 2nd!)
