Elklick Woodlands Natural Area Preserve, Natural area preserve in Fairfax County, Virginia, US
The Elklick Woodlands Natural Area Preserve encompasses 226 acres of protected forest land with distinctive oak and hickory trees throughout the grounds.
The preservation of this land resulted from collaboration between Fairfax County Park Authority, Department of Conservation and Recreation, and Northern Virginia Conservation Trust.
The forest serves as an educational resource for researchers and scientists studying the northern hardpan basic oak-hickory forest ecosystem in the Virginia Piedmont region.
Access to the preserve requires advance arrangements with the Fairfax County Park Authority, as there are no public facilities within the protected area.
The forest trees grow approximately 20 feet shorter than typical regional specimens due to the unusual diabase soil composition with dense plastic clay.
