Old Glory, No Worse for the Wear!

It’s hard to believe that the oak tree once dubbed Old Glory made national attention just a few short years ago. The tree was used by local environmental groups as a pawn to try and prevent the widening of Pico Canyon. The hordes of people and media circus from outside of our community, including the tree squatter, who professed to care about this majestic oak are long gone. The venerable tree is as beautiful as ever in it’s springtime bloom and no worse for the wear.
Old Glory, in it’s new location on Pico Canyon near Stevenson Ranch Parkway, is resting quietly in a terrific natural park area for all to enjoy. In our fast paced lives it’s nice to stop and smell the flowers once in a while or in this case take in the visual majesty of this Oak, a wonderful display of Mother Nature.
