Grafton Ponds Natural Area Preserve

General information

The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation works to conserve, protect, enhance and advocate wise use of the commonwealth’s unique natural, historical, recreational, scenic and cultural resources. Citizens’ livelihood, quality of life and future depend on how wisely we manage our natural resources. That’s why DCR strives to give individuals, businesses, communities and all levels of government tools and the information needed to make wise decisions in conserving natural and recreational resources. The agency does so through planning, funding, education and, in a few cases, regulation. DCR’s work falls into several broad categories ranging from protecting rare plants, animals and natural communities to ensuring the smart use of soil and water resources. The agency manages, protects and provides access to more than 26,625 acres, including numerous state parks and natural area preserves throughout the commonwealth.
