Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park - Natural Features & Ecosystems (U.S. National Park Service)

While Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park was set aside to preserve and save the memory of those that fought and died on this hallowed ground, there are many natural features that have been preserved in the park.
