Claytor turns ten

LC's Claytor Nature Study Center encompasses 470 acres of rural country in Bedford County, offering a commanding view of the Peaks of Otter in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The Big Otter River runs over a mile through the property and two small lakes and a pond dot the landscape. The Center offers open fields, woodlands, riverside cliffs, wetlands, a wide variety of flora and fauna, and over two miles of trails.

The Claytor Nature Study Center was made possible by a generous gift of property and an endowment from A. Boyd Claytor III. The establishment of the Claytor Nature Study Center in 1998 fulfills the dream of Mr. Claytor, and his late wife Virginia, that their Cloverlea Farm be protected for future generations to explore, study, and enjoy.
