 | Buffalo Mountain
At 3,971 feet Buffalo Mountain's rounded summit stands well above the surrounding
landscape and is subjected to sub-alpine winds and temperatures. The property
was purchased with funds from the Virginia Parks and Natural Areas Bond.
It is home to 14 plant species, 3 invertebrate species and 6 natural communities
that are rare in Virginia. Near the top of the mountain lives an insect
found no where else on earth(the Kosztarab's Giant Mealybug). Buffalo
Mountain was part of a large tract of land granted to Revolutionary War
hero General Henry Lee as a reward for his military service. The property
passed on to his sons, Charles Carter Lee and Civil War General Rober
E. Lee. because the habitats are sensative, they are protected from human
disturbance as much as possible. Public access improvements have recently
been completed, including a gravel access road, a small parking area and
a hiking trail to the summit. |
