Marshall Forest, National Natural Landmark in Floyd County, Georgia.
Marshall Forest extends across 301 acres of pine-hardwood terrain, containing three distinct plant communities and 55 different tree species at elevations between 600 and 900 feet.
The Marshall family purchased this former Cherokee Nation land in 1880, leading to its designation as Georgia's first National Natural Landmark in October 1966.
The Nature Conservancy manages the forest through volunteer programs focusing on conservation, boundary marking, and removal of non-native plant species.
Visitors can explore five self-guided walking trails on the southwest side of the forest, featuring plant identification tags and observation stations during daylight hours.
The forest houses Georgia's largest population of the endangered large-flowered skullcap, discovered by botanist Alvin Wentworth Chapman during the 1870s.
