From the USFWS: We'd like to welcome Mountain Bogs National Wildlife Refuge as our newest refuge in North Carolina! It's officially America's 563rd National Wildlife Refuge and will protect some of Appalachia’s rarest places for wildlife. Some of the species Mountain bogs will provide a home for are pictured below, but many others will benefit with this added refuge:

If you feel inclined, write to them and tell them they are AWESOME! Many agencies and organizations throughout the southeast have worked to protect and steward mountain bogs for a long, long time. It is nice to finally have lasting protection.
