Virginia Big Tree
Database - Trees Virginia is working to update the Virginia Big Tree
List. Trees need to be re-measured and verified that they are still
standing, especially in light of the heavy damage that Hurricane Isabel
inflicted fall of 2003
on trees in the state. If you have current information regarding any of the
trees on the website, or know
of large tees that should be checked out for possible inclusion on the Big
Tree List, please E-mail Dr. Jeff Kirwan at
