MS 2. Juniper Swamp. Acreage: 800 estimated. 



Location: Pearl River County; Poplarville Quadrangle; 2 miles S of Poplarville; 

 reached via County blacktop road 2.3 miles due S of the city limits. 



Description: In this lower coastal plain swamp is the most southwesterly exten- 

 sion of Chamaecyparis thyoides, C. foenryae, or both. This genus does not cross ^ — 

 the nearby Pearl River into Louisiana. The woody plants are in considerable 

 part the typical broadleaf evergreens of the lower coastal plain bottomlands. 



Encroachments: Atlantic white cedar is cut for posts. Crown Zellerbach might 



decide to convert their part of the swamp to slash pine. Through natural succes-^ 

 sion, white cedar is being replaced by broadleafed evergreens. 



Ownership: Private and the Crown Zellerbach Corporation, Bogolusa, La. 

 70427. Dr. Roberts contacted Crown Zellerbach Corporation in 1962 and 

 recommended that at least 40 acres of Section 18 be designated as a natural 

 area.
