Ghost Forest



I've been reading about the "ghost forests" developing along the Carolina coast.  As the sea level rises, areas that used to be freshwater are turning salty, killing the forest and leaving dead trees.  This area along the Abbot Creek greenway is a wetland where a forest used to be.  I think the housing development nearby changed the way water drains and created a wetland.
