Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is beautiful park located in Naples, Florida that has 14,000 acre of wildlife. This sanctuary contains the largest remaining virgin Bald Cypress forest in North America. I had the opportunity to visit the sanctuary with other peers from school. Even though it was raining, I could tell Corkscrew Swamp is a place full of wildlife. We spent about 2 hours total walking down the boardwalk and we saw snakes, baby alligators, hawks, birds, owls, trees, giant grasshoppers, and more. I really enjoy taking trips like these one because I am a person that likes to enjoy our ecosystem and enjoys trip out in the wild. I would recommend the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary to anyone. We learned a lot about how the sanctuary that I didn’t know before. Apparently the rain affects the park and the wildlife. There are different kinds of plants that grow when the Swamp is not full. As soon as the swamp grows some plants disappear till next summer. Now that is rainy season it would take about 2 months for the trees to be under water. Also, The Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary supports an active research program focusing on numerous ecological and natural resources management-oriented issues throughout Southwest Florida. The Sanctuary provides an ideal location for research, as natural conditions are pristine and land use is not changing rapidly. I really enjoyed visiting the Sanctuary specially because everything we saw there today is out of my every day routine. I saw animals and trees I have never seen before. Overall it was a great trip.
