There is a quiet, secluded 'outdoor room' at the Strathcona Wilderness Centre.  A dirt path leads into the forest off the main hiking trail.  A boardwalk appears and leads visitors into a small open area beneath towering spruce trees.

Birch trees, black spruce trees and labrador tea fill the space on either side of the walkway.  As you get closer to the 'room' the ground is covered in a soft green moss carpet that surrounds squirrel middens.

There are benches placed in the 'room' for visitors to sit and enjoy the forest sounds.  The squirrels chatter and run from hole to hole with pinecones.  Birds call from the treetops.  The wind whistles through the tree branches that form a canopy over the area.  

The spruce bog is a forest study area and my quiet spot where only the sounds of nature are heard.
