Take a moment to help us by joining our challenge!

We need your help!! This is part of our effort to raise awareness about Mud Lake Bog in Buchanan, Michigan. We are trying to get 100 Friends (on Facebook type in Mud Lake Bog) and Followers (on this blog) by March 10th. We think that one of the biggest problems with special wetland areas like the bog is that not enough people know about them and we want to improve this situation. If you become our Friend or Follower, we'll enter you in a hat drawing to get a free spring tour of Mud Lake Bog! After you become our Friend or Follower, send this around to your friends so they can help out, too. Thanks a lot for your help!
