Old Growth | Mississippi Roads | MPB

The Mississippi Petrified Forest in Flora is the only forest of its kind in the eastern United States. Formed 36 million years ago when tree logs were washed down by an ancient river, the rock-hard remains have much to teach about earth history. The forest is open year round for families as well as school trips. At the Sky Lake Boardwalk near Belzoni in Humphrey's County, visitors can get a first-hand look at some of the state's oldest trees. The oldest of the trees measure as high as 70 feet and as wide as 15 feet in diameter. These ancient cypress trees are among the last of their kind on the planet - a truly unique treasure for Mississippi. Find out more at http://mpbonline.org/mississippiroads
