Joseph Pines Preserve is a nature preserve in Sussex County, Virginia. [1] The preserve totals 428 acres, consisting of a conservation easement for the restoration of the native longleaf pine historic to Sussex County. [2]

It was created in 2012 when purchased by the Virginia Department of Forestry and Meadowview Biological Research Station, a nonprofit organization aiming to preserve pitcher plant bogs (or "seepage wetlands") and associated ecosystems in Maine and Virginia. [1] It contains a Center for Biodiversity used to promote restoration and education of the native wetlands through its rare plant nursery and on-site classes. [1]
