Community spots & sessions in VA · on LutherHeggs
Since this site is only accessed by the public during the hunting season, it is truly a refuge for a variety of wetland and woodland birds. It also holds a unique treasure called Lucky Boy fen - one of only four sea-level fens found in Virginia. This unique feature of the refuge is located just above the highest tide levels, at the base of a slope where abundant groundwater discharges. Sea-level fens are nutrient-poor, maritime seepage wetlands, confined to a few sites with an unusual combination of environmental conditions for the mid-Atlantic.
