Zurich Bog is a sphagnum bog in Arcadia, New York. Lyman Stuart and the Newark School District donated the land on 10 December 1957[1] to the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society which had been created in 1935 to preserve the similar Bergen-Byron Swamp. The bog has had scientific interest since the 1800's[2] It was declared a National Natural Landmark in May 1973[3]
