Sweetbay Bogs Preserve
Preserve established in 1989 by the Mississippi Chapter of the Nature Conservancy / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sweetbay Bogs Preserve was established in 1989 by the Mississippi Chapter of the Nature Conservancy.[1] Located in the western portion of Stone County, Mississippi, the property contains a classic example of a hillside seepage bog which the Conservancy designated as Sweetbay Bogs Preserve because of the multitude of sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana) trees that occupy the site.[2] The Preserve contains 194 acres (78 hectares) near Red Creek,[3] within the Pascagoula River watershed.[1]
