Charlotte County
Conservation: Forest Patches
Forest Patches are large, contiguous tracts or parcels of land.
These larger parcels provide enhanced economic and environmental opportunities for Virginia citizens.
One of the more important aspects of larger forest parcels is is habitat quality. Larger hubs and wider corridors provide extended habitat opportunities for all kinds of species.
In addition, large tracts of forest provide pure drinking water by filtering runoff and groundwater.
