This is an Oct, 20, 2008 aerial of Haydn Bog. Those various shades of green in the water is algae and this is something new. What is happening to this important wetland of Sebago Lake? All this scummy algae flushes out of the fen when it floods. Some of the algae mats are distributed along the shores of Sebago Lake depending which way the wind blows. Two factors have changed for Haydn Fen. One is the wetland never dries out anymore. The natural seasonal fluctuation and natural range of Sebago Lake is gone thanks to the ignorance of those that control Sebago Lake. The second factor is the Maeitta gravel mine just above Haydn Fen.This massive earthen pit has forever disrupted the natural flow of water into Haydn Bog. Who were those Maine legislature politicians that promoted such devastation.
