On a recent trip to London, Ontario we visited the Sifton Bog. I was
struck by mysterious feeling I had that came over me when I came
back on my own to explore the area. I hope this image portrays
my feelings...


----------------------------------------------

Sifton Bog Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) is located on the south side of
Oxford Street, west of Hyde Park Road in London, Ontario. There are access points
and trail markings that help you navigate the boardwalk.

The main feature of this 41.6-hectare public site is the floating acid peat bog and
associated boreal plant life. Deciduous swamp and upland forest surround the bog
providing a sharp contrast between the northern (boreal) and southern
(Carolinian) vegetation types.
