About the cover:  Welcome to the annual “Virginia You Love” issue of VTC! Every July/August we feature some aspect of being outdoors in Virginia and for 2024 it’s bridges! From the shore to the mountains, Virginia has so many amazing and unique bridges it was hard to pick the ones we wanted to present. But pick them we did, and present them we have (including Richmond’s misleadingly named Nickel Bridge photographed for the cover by VML’s own Manuel Timbreza). Enjoy!

About the cover: In 1941 Bob Nolan and the Sons of the Pioneers melodically asked: “Can you see that big, green tree? Where the water’s runnin’ free. And it’s waitin’ there for me and you? Water, cool, clear water.” Things have changed a bit since then. But, rather than try to find rhymes for things like Polyfluorinated Substances, it would be a whole lot better to keep improving our water. Find out more about efforts to do just that inside.
