The foundation of our work to protect the biodiversity of the Commonwealth revolves around cataloging and gathering geographic information about Virginia's rarest species and significant natural communities. Here we present a plethora of information including lists of our rare species and natural communities, a detailed classification of our natural communities, a searchable geo-database, maps that geographically summarize some of this information, and an atlas of our rarest butterfly/moth/damselfly/dragonfly species.
These data products are dynamic. As we learn more, these products are updated so check back occasionally. You never know what new information will come to light!
