Join us for a guided walk around the bogs and forests of Windswept, a retired organic cranberry bog on a restoration journey back into more functioning wetland. Hear about the ecological history in the making for this island favorite and the cranberry culture that helped to sustain the families of Nantucket after the whaling era.

Explore the southernmost end of the Foundation’s popular Sanford Farm property, which is home to some of Nantucket’s rarest plants and animals.
