Wolf Oak Woods Restoration Workday

Wolf Oak Woods is named after the Wolf Oak, a large bur oak that is believed to be more than 350 years old. The sprawling nature of its heavy limbs cause them to swoop down to touch the ground and grow back up again toward the light. The Wolf Oak, clearly visible from Route 120, has become a culural icon and ecological relic.

Beyond the Wolf Oak tree, the preserve includes 30 acres of ecologically intact wetland and oak woodland. In spring, you will see a carpet of spring wildflowers such as Dutchman’s breeches and shooting star. In the summer, a restored prairie near the Wolf Oak bursts with summer wildflowers to create pollinator habitat.

Come join us as we clear some invasive brush that has grown up next to the driveway and parking area!
