Water from the esker was the main source of supply for Lennoxville between 1921 and 1949, before becoming a secondary supply until 1986. Following municipal mergers, the City of Sherbrooke became the owner of the land, before transferring it to the University of Sherbrooke and Bishop&rsquo;s University in 2010.<\/p><p>In the meantime, Nature Eastern Townships (NET) became the owner of a 44-hectare piece of land in 2007, next to what would become part of the universities\u2019 property. With this acquisition, NET wishes to perpetually preserve these natural environments and restore the portion of the peat bog that was previously degraded. The restoration work carried out in 2013-2014 includes activities such as the building of dams, blocking of culverts and cutting of woody vegetation. It aims to restore the water table levels in this area of the bog, reduce erosion and sediment transport to Racey Brook, and promote the return of plant and wildlife species usually found in open bog ecosystems.<\/p><p>To protect the natural environment of the bog area, a conservation easement now links the universities&rsquo; property to that of NET. This status provides legal protection for over 227 hectares, which represents 94% of the total area of Johnville Bog.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ec9a22 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7ec9a22\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Johnville Bog conservation in three points:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8526707 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8526707\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>A conservation plan for the Racey Brook watershed;<\/li><li>A restoration project for the disturbed area of the bog;<\/li><li>A public access park for extensive recreation, education and research.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>To learn more about the recreational and educational opportunities at Johnville Bog &amp; Forest Park, <a href=\"https:\/\/naturecantonsdelest.ca\/nce\/johnville-park\/\"><b>click here<\/b><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cecb8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2cecb8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Johnville Bog Ecological Profile<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb7442 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cdb7442\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><style>@font-face\n\t{font-family:Arial;\n\tpanose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4;\n\tmso-font-charset:0;\n\tmso-generic-font-family:auto;\n\tmso-font-pitch:variable;\n\tmso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;}@font-face\n\t{font-family:Calibri;\n\tpanose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;\n\tmso-font-charset:0;\n\tmso-generic-font-family:auto;\n\tmso-font-pitch:variable;\n\tmso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal\n\t{mso-style-parent:\"\";\n\tmargin-top:0cm;\n\tmargin-right:0cm;\n\tmargin-bottom:8.0pt;\n\tmargin-left:0cm;\n\tline-height:107%;\n\tmso-pagination:widow-orphan;\n\tfont-size:11.0pt;\n\tfont-family:\"Times New Roman\";\n\tmso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;\n\tmso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;\n\tmso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;\n\tmso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;\n\tmso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;\n\tmso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;\n\tmso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";\n\tmso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;\n\tmso-ansi-language:EN-CA;}div.Section1\n\t{page:Section1;}<\/style> <span lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\">The main tributary to Johnville Bog is Racey Brook. The Racey Brook watershed covers<\/span> an area of 26 km<sup>2.<\/sup> There are 52.63 linear km of streams and 30 water bodies. The major water bodies are Jenckes Lakes and Arthur Langford Pond, both of which are directly associated with the hydrography of Johnville Bog.<\/p><p>Johnville Bog is characterized by the presence of an esker, an area of fluvioglacial sand and gravel deposits formed by the flow of water beneath the glacier. It is the presence of this esker to the west and south, combined with the presence of impermeable deposits such as clay, that would have prevented the drainage of land further east and encouraged the accumulation of organic matter that led to the formation of the Johnville Bog. The presence of the esker affects the topography surrounding the bog by creating a succession of knolls and depressions, thus affecting the location of the various forest stands.<\/p><p>Bogs can be categorized into two main groups: ombrotrophic bogs (bog) and minerophilic bogs (fen).<\/p><p>The Johnville Bog ecosystems are a variety of ecosystems including sphagnum spruce-moss, wet cedar, hemlock and mixed maple, as well
