Bayview Bog Project
Cape Cod Healthcare has partnered with the Cape Cod Conservation District (CCCD) and the state Division of Ecological Restoration (DER) to begin a five-year project that will restore Bayview Cranberry Bogs in West Yarmouth to its natural state. Cape Cod Hospital, which owns the 89-acre bog area, announced recently that DER has designated a restoration plan for what is known as the “Bayview Bog,” as a “priority project.”
The overall vision of CCHC, CCCD and DER is to bring the bog back to a healthier ecosystem that will offer hospital patients and family members a tranquil place for contemplation and healing, a space for passive recreation for neighbors and the local community, and possible climate change mitigation benefits by restoring the ebb and flow of water into nearby Lewis Bay.
