Swamps: Swamps are forested wetlands. They may border a river with moving water, or occupy a pond of still water. They may even be dry
in some parts of the year. The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that enable them to tolerate high water levels. Approximately 10% of the land area in Florida is covered by forested
wetlands. Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park, Blue Cypress Water Management Area, Tosohatchee State Reserve, Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Collier-Seminole State Park, and Big Cypress
National Park. |
