Big Slough Wilderness

Big Slough Wilderness protects 17,000 acres of Louisiana’s vanishing bottomland hardwood forest—one of the most threatened ecosystems in America. This is swamp country at its finest: bald cypress, tupelo gum, and black water sloughs teeming with wildlife most people will never see. No trails, no fanfare, just raw wilderness doing what it does best. These wetlands filter water, store carbon, and shelter species that depend on places exactly like this. Rep the swamps that quietly keep our planet running.
