| National Park Overview: |
 | Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge was formed in 1980 and encompasses 36,000 acres of the Pearl River Basin. Located northeast of Slidell, LA, this beautiful southern swampland is one of the most undisturbed in the country. |
| Nature of the Area: |
| Bogue Chitto NWR is a bottomland hardwood forest consisting of a number of sloughs and bayous. The production of valuable wildlife foods is dependent on the varying degrees of inundation during the growing season. A variety of woody plant species occur in these periodically flooded areas, and all exhibit some degree of survival in soils which are inadequately drained and aerated. Commonly recognized species-zonation patterns range from the bald cypress and water tupelo communities associated with longer periods of flooding to the live oak and loblolly pine communities on the highest floodplain areas. |
