To these possible destructiveagencies may be added changesbrought about by land development,such as in the availability of water orin fire. Because it is readily accessible tothe public and is possibly now oneof a few, if not the only, bog left inthe valley, it is worthy of preservation. Reference Costin, A. B. (1954).
