Forest Botanicals

The Forest Botanicals Region Living Monument Storywalk Trail is located in Norton’s Flag Rock Recreation Area. The two-mile loop consists of 10 interpretive signs placed along the Twisted Forest and Lake Lake Show trails on the Flag Rock Area Trails system. Each interpretive sign along the trail focuses on a different theme to highlight the cultural, historical, medicinal, and economic importance that Appalachian forest botanicals have long held for a diversity of people and animals.

Please see the project website for more information on the trail and project.

This project was funded through a grant from Monuments Across Appalachian Virginia and in partnership with Virginia Tech, Appalachian Sustainable Development, and the City of Norton.
