Arbor Day is coming soon and in celebration, we will host Jeff Kirwan on April 9 for a presentation about his beautiful book, Remarkable Trees of Virginia (reprint coming soon).As The University of Virginia Press states, “this stunning collaboration between the noted garden writer Nancy Ross Hugo and the photographer Robert Llewellyn showcases the fruits of an effort begun in 2004 to research, locate, and photograph Virginia’s most remarkable trees. Four years later, more than one thousand trees had been officially nominated to the project and many others suggested for possible inclusion. The results, presented in this elegant, four-color volume, are astounding. Hugo and Kirwan, the project coordinators, have selected a sample of trees and "tree places" that illustrate the enormous variety, startling beauty, and fascinating history of Virginia’s trees.”
Jeff Kirwan is a retired Extension Specialist and forestry professor at Virginia Tech. For many years he led statewide programs for 4-H youth, the Virginia Big Tree Program and founded the Master Naturalist Program.
