The Six Mile Cypress Slough is a crowded ecosystem where every available
niche is filled by animals and plants adapted to life in a wetland.
The
Slough has a diverse array of plant and animal communities within
its 2,500 acres. These communities occur in distinct zones related
to ground elevations, types of soil, and water depths found in the
Slough at different times of the year.
