A beautiful little marsh with dragon arum (marsh snake arum) and water fern, both listed as endangered or near endangered on the Red List and specially protected.
Both bloom from May onwards.

Swamps are like giant muddy adventure playgrounds for plants, animals and sometimes even brave explorers like you! In a swamp, the ground is wet and soft because it stores a lot of water. The water can come from above when it rains or from below when the ground is close to the sea.

Many interesting plants live in a swamp, such as reeds, water lilies and carnivorous plants like sundew. These plants love the wet climate and thrive there.

But not only plants, but also animals feel comfortable in the swamp. Ducks, frogs, dragonflies and even alligators can live there! Some animals camouflage themselves well to hide from enemies and others make funny noises to entertain themselves.

Swamps are also very important for nature. They help filter and clean the water and they provide habitat for many different types of animals and plants.

If you ever get the chance to visit a swamp, don't forget to put on your wellies and bring your explorer gear! There is so much to see and explore - who knows what adventures await you!
