Clarkson Tract (YK2616) — Key Land & Tax Summary
The Clarkson Tract encompasses approximately 134 acres within the Dragon Run watershed and is uniquely shaped by its direct interaction with the Dragon Swamp system. A branch of the Dragon Swamp traces along the southern boundary of the property before turning and continuing through the northeastern corner, creating a dynamic, water-defined landscape that enhances both ecological function and natural delineation. This hydrological influence reinforces the tract’s role within the broader wetland corridor, while the surrounding upland forest remains protected under a conservation easement held by The Nature Conservancy and managed as a working forest—balancing environmental preservation with sustainable timber use.
The tract is defined by its scale and continuity, contributing to one of the largest unfragmented forest systems in the lower Chesapeake Bay region. Its timber base supports ongoing forest management practices, while its position within the Dragon Run and Mattaponi River corridor reinforces both habitat value and long-term environmental significance. As part of this broader conservation landscape, the property benefits from structural protections that prioritize land continuity and ecological function.
Per paragraph 2.1 Subdivision and paragraph 2.2 Building Envelopes, these properties can be managed for limited residential use, designed to minimize impact on the surrounding forest. The tract’s size and internal access also support a range of recreational uses, including hunting and passive land enjoyment, without compromising its primary function as managed timberland.
The Clarkson Tract is best understood as a scaled, institutionally aligned landholding—where conservation objectives and biological productivity converge within a protected and increasingly scarce forest system.
