The “value” of Virginia’s forests is many things to many people. To some, the value lies in the beauty of the forests while landowners and the forest products industry consider the utilization of the resource as the most valuable asset... Whether it’s a walk in the urban forest or a hunter in the rural forest, all Virginians can enjoy this resource as it continues to provide a necessary framework for our daily lives.
