Recent rainfall in the nation’s third most forested state could be a precursor to stunning fall color

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – In anticipation of the quickly-approaching autumn season, the West Virginia Department of Tourism has released its annual fall foliage projection map. The map, prepared in partnership with the West Virginia Division of Forestry, estimates when fall color is expected to begin appearing across the Mountain State in an effort to help travelers plan their fall getaways.
