Logoly Natural Area, located in the Coastal Plain, is used intensively for environmental education and contains various natural communities representative of south central Arkansas. Forests of both pines and hardwoods are found on the area, including very large loblolly pines. The area also features several springs along with an assemblage of increasingly scarce plant species that are restricted to spring environments. American beech dominates the moist ravines and the beech-drops that grow parasitically on their roots are especially abundant. The natural area is contained within Logoly State Park and is managed jointly with Arkansas State Parks (ASP).
