Hey tumblrinos and tumblrinas and tumblrinx’s and anyone in between or far and wide. I’d like to request some help. A town near me is about to destroy a nearly 350 year old tree for more parking space. How can I stop it? Please reblog/share this. We need help.
Per a friend: The white oak tree is located on land called “Queen Street” which was positioned to run parallel to the south branch of Onancock Creek, with King Street along the north branch of the creek. So the tree may have been growing in that location when Onancock was first settled by English. Before that it was an Indian village with just a few inhabitants. The girth of the tree is 17 feet, which means it could be as old as about 350 years. This type of oak can actually reach 500 years under ideal conditions.
