Recommended Native Trees for Virginia's Central Rappahannock Region



The Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain is a region covering most of the coastal plain from the border of South Carolina and Georgia, northeast to southern New Jersey. This region tends to be flat and poorly-drained, with dunes, beaches, and barrier islands along the coastline, usually with extensive wetlands behind them.

Virginia's Coastal Plain is bordered by the Fall line to the west and by the Atlantic Ocean and the Cheesapeake Bay to the east. The fall line is a major break in geologic structure between the Piedmont and the Coastal Plain which results in differences in ecosystem patterns and a variety of landscape relief and roughness.


Virginia's Central Rappahannock Region encompasses a portion of the Northern Coastal Plain, as well as a portion of the Northern Piedmont. It includes Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania, and Stafford counties and the City of Fredericksburg.
