Forested Land in Augusta County, VA

Augusta County's mountain edges — both the Blue Ridge to the east and the Alleghenies to the west — hold extensive hardwood forests. The valley floor is open farmland, but move toward the ridges and you find dense stands of oak, hickory, and tulip poplar. These forested tracts border George Washington National Forest on both sides of the county, creating wildlife corridors and hunting opportunities.
