Abstract:

Mountain bogs in Western North Carolina are unique water-bound landscapes home to a variety of carnivorous plants, such as the mountain sweet pitcher plant, purple pitcher plant, and green pitcher plants. The Nature Conservancy and United States Fish and Wildlife Service are working to protect and restore bog areas from development and invasive species.
