Today’s column was about a recently released book—Remarkable Trees of Virginia—put out by the University of Virginia Press. The book is the product of fours years of work by authors Nancy Ross Hugo, Jeff Kirwan and photographer Robert Llewellyn. Click here to hear an interview with the coauthors.

American Forest’s register of national champion trees

The Virginia Big Tree Program, run by Kirwan.
