If you are someone who believes that insect-eating plants are interesting (and not creepy), then you should definitely put Green Swamp on your list. Home to over 21 species of native orchids, 14 kinds of insectivorous plants species and more than a dozen rare animals, the Green Swamp Preserve features a large longleaf forest that is maintained by controlled burning.
There is scope for activity too – from the 1.5 mile out-and-back flat trail that will take visitors through various savannas, to board walking through thick shrubs. Visitors are welcome in the Green Swamp every day, all year round.
