Congaree

This forest existed long before it was protected as a national park. The natural sounds you hear today are some of the same sounds heard by the Congaree and Catawba tribes that came here long ago. Take a moment to listen to the forest. You may be surprised by what you hear. The forest comes alive with the sounds of songbirds, frogs, and the wind blowing through the trees. What would this forest look and sound like if it had not been protected?
