Virginia has experienced extreme heat and low rainfall this year, and trees are beginning to die due to lack of water. A District Forester emphasizes the importance of taking care of younger trees that cannot withstand the heat, but mature trees are also at risk. Urban trees and forests alike are in need of rain.
