Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center, Nature conservation center in Baton Rouge, United States.
The facility encompasses 103 acres of diverse habitats, including cypress-tupelo swamps, beech-magnolia forests, and hardwood forests connected by gravel paths and boardwalks.
The Recreation and Park Commission for East Baton Rouge Parish established this conservation-based park in May 1997 as their first nature preservation project.
The main building houses natural artifact displays and the largest collection of vintage Louisiana duck decoys, donated by Charles W. Frank Jr.
The center welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from noon to 5 PM, with special rates for seniors and students.
Louisiana Bird Observatory researchers conduct studies at the site, tracking population trends and moulting patterns of southern bird species since March 2010.
