STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM - US SOUTHEAST - CHUB SANDHILL, VA |
|||||||
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. |
