May 25, 2022 Volunteer boaters move an entire bog away from a roadbridge in Chippewa Flowage, WI.

25 boats came together to push the bog away from the bridge, which is the only passage between the sides of the flowage.
Property owners in the community lent a helping hand, but the bog got stuck on a pile of rocks despite their efforts.
“When we move it, you got to get it in the right spot, or it can be back in a couple of days,” homeowner Greg Kopke said.
The residents said if the blog moves back to the bridge, they will be ready to push it away once again.
As soil and plant matter combined, patches of peat began to float around the Chippewa Flowage. The fertile soil was the perfect habitat for plants and animals, and soon an entire ecosystem began to thrive on the bog.
