last updated: April 2023

The 462 acre Land's End Wildlife Management Area (WMA) was established in 1966 and expanded in 1970. It consists of two tracts of land, the 50 acre Salem Church tract and the 412 acre Land's End tract, located in southeastern King George County. Land's End WMA is a mixture of open farmland, woodland and wetlands. It is bordered on two sides by the Rappahannock River and on one side by Jett's Creek. Due to deed restrictions, Land's End WMA has been managed primarily as a refuge for migrating waterfowl. Each winter, artic-nesting Canada geese are attracted by the thousands to feed in the abundant fields of corn, milo and winter wheat and to rest in the adjoining Nanzattico Bay. Bald eagles, deer, turkey and songbirds are also commonly sighted on Land's End WMA. The goal is to promote wildlife viewing opportunities in eastern Virginia. Waterfowl and wildlife habitat management research also occur on the property.
