Big Trees in West Virginia

Charlotte Ferrell Smith of the Charleston Daily Mail reports on updating the West Virginia Big Tree Registry. Bob Radspinner, former president of the West Virginia Forestry Association, is heading up that project.  You may have a hard time finding some of the trees already on the registry, because the Division of Forestry doesn't always give out their locations, to avoid their being  damaged by vandals or stolen. If you want to nominate trees, Ms. Smith says the  public can go to the website www.wvcommerce.org/ resources/forestry/big_tree for information about measuring and submitting nominees.
