The Virginia Big Tree Program is a natural resources outreach and education program of Virginia Cooperative Extension that started out as a 4-H and FFA project in 1970. Today the program is coordinated by the Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation at Virginia Tech. The mission is to increase the care and appreciation for all trees – big and small – and educate the Commonwealth about the value of trees and forests.
