Friends of Bog group calls boardwalk fire arson

A boardwalk that was recently installed at Mud Lake in the Cedarburg Bog was burned on Memorial Day weekend, a case of suspected arson that has the Friends of the Cedarburg Bog offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.

“This is the third time we’ve had vandalism since we put in the boardwalk, and it appears to be escalating,” said John O’Donnell, a member of the Friends board of directors.

“We had not had any serious vandalism until this happened.”
