The Abita Creek Flatwoods Preserve was established to protect a significant, large tract of southeast Louisiana pine flatwood wetlands. The nature preserve is home to bayhead swamps, slash pine-pond cypress woodlands, and longleaf pine flatwood savanna. In addition to discovering all of the plants in the Abita Creek Flatwoods Preserve, rare wildlife may also be spotted, such as rare grassland birds like the Henslow’s sparrow and the Bachman’s sparrow.
Visitors can stroll along the informative boardwalk to view a wide variety of fascinating plants in portions of the preserve, such as the pitcher plants, a unique carnivorous plant.
