Prized for its botanical significance, this
775-acre area of low sandhills in southeastern Virginia was sold
to Virginia's Division of Natural Heritage by the Hancock Timber
Resource Group in 1995. The area contains a number of plant species
that were thought to grow only in South Carolina and Georgia. The
sale resulted in the protection of rare, fire-dependent wildflowers
such as the golden puccoon, queen's delight and pineland tick-trefoil.
