The Cedars Natural Area Preserve is a Natural Area Preserve located in Lee County, Virginia. It derives its name from The Cedars, the karst region near the Powell River in which it is located. It supports a community of limestone glades and woodlands over limestone bedrock, and much of the landscape is rocky and rugged. The preserve is a haven for numerous rare plants adapted to the habitat.
