The Cedars Natural Area Preserve, Protected area in Lee County, Virginia, US.
The Cedars Natural Area Preserve spans 2,265 acres of limestone landscape with caves, sinkholes, and specialized plant communities adapted to karst conditions.
The Nature Conservancy obtained 50 acres in 1996, transferring them to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for preservation management in 1997.
Local community groups, including the Lambert Ladies, contribute to education programs about the natural resources and ecological importance of the preserve.
Access to the preserve requires advance arrangements with a state-employed land steward as there are no public facilities available for visitors.
The preserve contains rare plants such as Wild Hyacinth, Crawe's Sedge, and provides habitat for the endangered Lee County cave isopod.
