In 2012, Ray Milewski and students established research plots at Pennsylvanias Tannersville Cranberry Bog. A decade later, researchers cleared shrubs to give rare native plants room to return. The project reflects a wider restoration effort across Pennsylvania and Delaware. Forests are being rebuilt, streams revived, and invasive species removed. Together, these projects show how steady conservation work can restore damaged habitats while supporting wildlife, visitors, and local communities.
