Oak Grove

A 25-acre native oak grove with many trees more than 100 years old. The 100-foot-high Signature Oak is 400 years old and its massive branches touch the ground in several places. It has been designated as one of Oregon's "Heritage Trees".
The first white oak took root an estimated 400 years ago, and now the grove's understory is being returned to its original pristine condition, as the Himalayan blackberry and other non-native species are being removed.

Green Guide Stop number fourteen

Oak Grove

The Native species tend to be excellent wildlife attractors, as well as requiring a minimum of water and maintenance. Stroll through the Oak Grove to experience the towering Oregon White Oak trees, whose conservation was ensured by a generous grant from the Grand Ronde Indian Tribe.
