This photo was taken in August 2008. What has changed since then? Cypress Swamp Unlike most stormwater basins, SEEP was planted with numerous species, including cypress trees, to enhance its value as a wetland. Cypress are common in forested wetlands throughout the southeastern United States. All of the cypress around you were one year old when they were planted in the basin in 1999. Notice the wide range in the size of these trees. This variation is mainly due to localized differences in soil nutrients and compaction, and duration of flooding.
