In 1926, Graham F. Blandy bequeathed 700 acres of his approximately 900 acre estate to the University of Virginia. The university keeps it up and uses it for environmental research and education. I am thankful that this beautiful place is open to the public.

A Drive Through Blandy
I drove through the State Arboretum a few weeks ago. This tract is part of the Blandy Experimental Farm in Clarke County.
