Grayson Glades Natural Area Preserve, Natural area preserve in Grayson County, Virginia, US.

The 53-acre preserve contains a mafic fen wetland system with magnesium-rich soils fed by natural springs throughout the protected territory.

The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation established this preserve to protect rare wetland ecosystems and endangered plant species native to the region.

The preserve functions as an outdoor laboratory where researchers and naturalists study rare plant species including tuberous grass-pink and queen-of-the-prairie.

Visitors must coordinate with a state-employed land steward before accessing the preserve, as there are no developed trails or public facilities.

The preserve harbors one of Virginia's few mafic fen wetlands, supporting six documented rare plant species at the headwaters of a small stream system.
