In the mid-20th century, Smarde's Green Bog witnessed peat extraction until the revelation of hydrogen sulfide mineral waters beneath, leading to the cessation of peat mining in 1960. This halt also marked the end of water pumping from peat quarries, transforming them into water reservoirs. Despite the mining's cessation, drainage systems persist in influencing the bog's water dynamics. Cormorants, or sea crows, have chosen this altered landscape as their habitat, crafting nests among the withered trees. The bog's vivid emerald waters, alongside desiccated trees and cormorant colonies, form its distinctive hallmark, resulting in a uniquely captivating landscape with an almost apocalyptic ambiance.
