Last year the goal was $50,000 but this was exceeded by a few thousand dollars.

When Europeans first settled in New England, they found, among other things, wild cranberries that grew on small little plants in bogs. Both Native Americans and European settlers included cranberries in their diets. When sugar from the Caribbean became available in the American colonies, popularity of the cranberry grew. Farmers and families gathered wild cranberries for their own use and for sale to cities and towns. The commercial cranberry industry was born when it was discovered that the cranberry could be cultivated in manmade wetlands and harvested by machines. Cranberry sauce won a special place on the American holiday table. Parker River NWR preserves a natural cranberry bog where the tasty little fruit grows much as it did when the European settlers arrived. This November the refuge will conduct a tour of this historic bog. The tour will start with a short presentation in the visitor center, followed by a tour of the bog itself. Participants will be allowed to pick a small bag of cranberries and to take all the pictures they like.
