This episode’s script was adapted from the conclusion to “An Introduction to Trees in Virginia and Their Connections to Water,” by Sanglin Lee and Alan Raflo, posted 12/7/11 on the Virginia Water Central News Grouper, at http://vawatercentralnewsgrouper.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/an-introduction-to-trees-in-virginia-and-their-connections-to-water/, and published in Virginia Water Central, April 2012 (http://www.vwrrc.vt.edu/watercentral.html). The article includes a list of some basic references on Virginia’s trees. A Virginia Cooperative Extension version of this article (“Trees and Water,” by Sanglin Lee, Alan Raflo, and Jennifer Gagnon; some differences in text) is available online at http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/ANR/ANR-18/ANR-18NP_pdf.pdf.
