- This program explores the Okefenokee Swamp, which forms the headwaters of the Suwanee and St. Marys Rivers. Starting at Camp Cornelia, the site of a former work camp for a drainage project, the video takes a tour through the three major habitats of the Okefenokee: the prairies, which are filled with water lilies and sedges; the moist pinelands found on islands that used to be sandbars and which hare covered with slash pines; and the largest habitat, the cypress bays.
Over shots various features of the swamp, narrator Johnny Bruce describes the carnivorous plants that live there (such as pitcher plants and sundew), the various animals that inhabit the swamp (including the American alligator and osprey), and the geological history of the site. He also discusses the South’s Spanish moss, an epiphyte which is neither Spanish nor a moss.
