"West Virginia Trees" by A. B. Brooks is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a detailed resource for the identification and understanding of native tree species in West Virginia, providing descriptions, illustrations, and keys for about 101 trees, while also touching on some introduced species. It aims to foster a greater appreciation for the state's diverse forestry and to encourage interest in its conservation. The opening of "West Virginia Trees" presents a preface by the author, outlining the number of native trees found in West Virginia and the focus of the bulletin. Brooks explains the intent to simplify the technical language and provide accessible information, emphasizing the importance of using familiar terms for identification, particularly based on leaf and fruit characteristics. The author also mentions that readers can seek assistance in identifying specimens not covered within the bulletin, indicating that this work is both educational and practical for residents and students of West Virginia's natural history.
