Garry Oak trees

A historic Garry oak tree estimated to be 400 years old in Tumwater, Washington, has been saved by a court ruling. It was used as a marker along the Cowlitz Trail.

Suburban cities like Lakewood, Washington, are struggling to increase the urban tree canopy. But the city is also home to an extensive stand of native oak trees, a hub for ecosystem restoration, stewardship, and outreach.
