In this site are found trees and shrubs that are typical of any
mountainous region of Virginia. It includes some distinctive evergreen
conifers as well as deciduous species. Many of these species are more
typical of northern states. A collection of wild azaleas donated to the
BRCC Arboretum by the W. Va. chapter of the American Rhododendron
Society adds Spring color. Six species of pines grow at the lower edge
of this site.
