Three Sisters[edit]
The Three Sisters swamp is located off the State Road 1550 bridge and the N.C. 53 bridge. This swamp is located on the Black River in Bladen County and the only way to reach Three Sisters is through the use of canoes and kayaks. The swamp is approximately one mile long and a half mile wide, but is home to the largest cluster of ancient cypress trees in the entire Black River Preserve.

This introduction is slightly choppy id suggest merging the first two sentences and adding a bit more general information about the swamp.

Ancient bald cypress[edit]
The Black River in North Carolina is the only location in the world where bald cypress have existed for over a millennium. In 2019, an individual tree—dating back to 605 B.C.E—was discovered alongside this southeastern tributary. Ancient bald cypresses were determined to be the oldest trees in eastern North America, as well as the fifth oldest species of tree on Earth.

In order to determine the age of bald cypress trees on the Black River Preserve, scientists have used a non-destructive method combining radiocarbon dating and dendrochronology. An individual by the name of David Stahle, was the one who used this technology to date some of the oldest standing cypresses located in the area of Three Sisters swamp.

the information you have is great i would just suggest filling these section out with a little more information.

Recreation[edit]
In 1994, the Black River was deemed an Outstanding Water Source by the North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation. It has since become a popular location for recreational activities such as kayaking and canoeing. Year round, boaters can observe a wide variety of plant and animal species along the riverbanks.

Conservation[edit]
The Black River is an area of focus for environmentalists due to threats on the ecosystem posed by humans. These threats include pollution of the river and surrounding waterways, as well as the logging industry, climate change and rise in sea level.

The Nature Conservancy is largely responsible for establishing more than 17,000 acres for the Black River Preserve. With the help of North Carolina state agencies, this conservation and restoration project began in 1989 and has since protected the river and its surrounding environment.

Like i have said previously i feel the information here is okay but i dont think there is enough information here right now.

It just feels like theres information and content missing that could be included based on how small each section is
