Green Swamp Preserve
United States of America
The Green Swamp is a swamp that lies in Brunswick and Columbus counties in North Carolina. The 15,907-acre (6,437 ha) swamp was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1974. Today, the Nature Conservancy manages a total of 17,424 acres (7051 ha) of the swamp as the Green Swamp Preserve. The carniv
orous plant known as the Venus flytrap is found within this swamp, and it is important for other unique and endangered species. North Carolina laws prohibit the removal of these plants from their habitat. The wetlands support a rich ecology and are important as habitat along the Atlantic Flyway of migrating birds and other species.
