Allen Road Clean Up 🧹🗑️♻️

Friday February Pack Meeting, and
On Sunday we’ve explored the great outdoors during our hike through picturesque Natirar Park!

Basking Ridge was once a home to one of the oldest White Oak trees in North America. It stood in the courtyard of the Presbyterian Church in the town center.
The tree was 619 years old when it died in 2016. It stood at a height of 97 feet (30 meters) and had a trunk circumference of 20 feet (6.1 meters). Its spread was over 130 feet (40 meters).
In June 2016, the tree was "failing to thrive" and showed signs of distress as its upper parts failed to sprout leaves. By September 2016, the tree had died.
It was cut down over a three-day period, with the work finished on April 26, 2017. A young white oak grown from an acorn of the old tree was planted in the churchyard.

Today, we got to see a slice of this magnificent tree and hear about the history and significance of the tree, as well as its last few years as it succomd to climate change and its old age.
