Northern Virginia Conservation Trust has helped the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation acquire a 59-acre property of high-priority forested wetlands adjacent to the Crow’s Nest Natural Area Preserve in Stafford County.
The acquisition of this tract protects the habitat for bald eagles, great blue herons, at least 25 species of waterfowl, several rare plant populations, and neo-tropical migratory birds.
