Francis Beidler Forest in Four Holes Swamp of South Carolina contains the largest virgin stand of bald cypress and tupelo trees in the world.  Many of these trees are 1000 years or older.  It is a blackwater swamp fed by springs and runoff from higher areas.  There is a 1.5 mile boardwalk through a portion of the swamp forest.  The Forest is a National Audubon Society sanctuary co-owned with The Nature Conservancy.
