Local wetlands support several rare species, while the upland slopes support northern hardwoods including beech, birch, and maple. The area has a long farming and grazing history, but the wetlands have survived, dominated by sedges and grasses with few trees and shrubs. The property was acquired using a voter-approved state government bond and a recovery grant from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.[2] The preserve is owned and maintained by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, and it hosts an agricultural lease {{as of|2016|lc=y}}. It does not include improvements for public access, and visitors must make arrangements with a state-employed land steward prior to visiting.[2] See also
