No matter the season, this sturdy Northern Red Oak at Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary invites visitors to explore the South Meadow. Alternatively, visitors may choose to simply rest on the bench beneath its wide branches.
Stand By Me, Red Oak Tree
Venerable!
Exactly! I wish I had said that š

I love oak trees. Thank you for featuring this fine ā and venerable ā being! How old do you suppose this tree might be? 100+?
I think it’s 100 +. I’ll ask the staff at the Audubon to verify this, though. It’s a great question. Thanks for asking and visiting.

A fine set
This tree is at least 100, which is old for around here. I’m always reading about the 400+ year old trees in England. Any near you?
We do have a few, Julie. Thank you very much
Wonderful! I enjoy seeing the same scenes through the four seasons so much. Thank you for sharing these. š
You are so welcome! There’s this scene from A Man For All Seasons where Thomas More is imprisoned, and time passing is shown via the the changes in the tree outside his prison window. I had hoped the Oak Tree would give the same feeling!
Best,
Julie
Strong and steady. Something to anchor to. Happy Friday Julie. Allan
