Mixed swamp forest (pine/emergent vegetation), Florida, Palm Beach County- Grassy Water Preserve

            Grassy Waters Preserve is the freshwater supply for the City of West Palm Beach and surrounding municipalities. Historically, the area that is the Preserve formed the  headwaters of the Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River, and was a part of the Greater Everglades watershed. Although the Everglades are greatly altered, the Grassy Waters Preserve is a pristine remnant of the ecosystem while serving as a source of freshwater.  The mixed swamp forest contains a mixture of bottomland forest species including pine, cypress, palm, and various water adaptive hardwood trees. An emergent plant grows in water, breaking the surface so that it is partially in air. Collectively, such plants are emergent vegetation.
