Panthertown Valley is a beautiful mountain valley in North Carolina’s Nantahala National Forest. The valley contains a large bog wetland, where water running off the surrounding mountainsides ponds before flowing out. This flat area harbors many interesting plants, provides an open space for wildlife, and cleans the water as it flows through. Matt Bushman, botanist for the Nantahala National Forest, describes the wetland, the plants, threats to mountain bogs, activities people can do in the forest, and how the public can help.
