👉 Cranberry farmers in Massachusetts are choosing conservation over other options to restore and conserve their bogs. 👉 The state's growers association, Massachusetts Cranberries, notes that the industry is facing challenges due to lower prices for cranberries, rising production costs, and climate change. 👉 Bog conservation creates habitat for native plants and wildlife, and reduces pollutants and natural barriers to rising seas. 👉 The state has converted eight bog sites to wetlands at a cost of over $27 million and has 12 more planned.
