Nottingham Serpentine Barrens
Nottingham, United States
Declared a National Natural Landmark in 2008, the Nottingham Serpentine Barrens represent a unique, desert-like environment, where rare plants grow and animals thrive. The 651-acre park sits atop an outcropping of serpentine stone greater then one square mile in size - one of the largest serpentine barrens on the East Coast. It features former feldspar and serpentine quarries, and numerous former chromite ore mines
