Manassas National Battlefield Park - Natural Features

Manassas National Battlefield Park by National Parks Service

In 1997-98, the Department of Conservation and Recreation in conjunction with the Division of Natural History inventoried Manassas National Battlefield Park (MNBP) for rare, threatened, and endangered species and significant natural communities. MNBP is classified under the Piedmont Region; Culpeper Basin. According to the 1997-98 report, MNBP is "one of the region's most unspoiled areas (p. 9)." The rare and significant habitats that occur in MNBP are the Upland Depression Swamp, Oak-Hickory (both very threatened elsewhere in Virginia due to development), Eastern White Pine, and Piedmont Mountain Swamp Forest.
