Fall Foliage Report

From the Virginia Department of Forestry

For the week of October 29 - The rain and wind brought down some of the early turners but overall this weekend still might be good for viewing. In the New River Valley, virtually all of the trees have color. In the Shenandoah Valley, fall color is evident on more than 75% of the trees. Many areas of the Piedmont are at peak or have passed peak and their transition should be complete in early November. The Coastal Plain is expected to peak in mid-November. This will be our last report for the season.

Fall fire season is in effect until November 30th, so remember to be careful with outdoor fire. When burning leaves, the Virginia Department of Forestry recommends burning small piles, have water on hand and a cell phone nearby to dial 911 if it gets out of control.
