Committee forms to safeguard 500-year-old tree in Oakland Township TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS NEEDED TO SERVE ON COMMITTEE BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com
OAKLAND TOWNSHIP — There’s an oak tree at the corner of Letts and Rush roads in Oakland Township that is over 500 years old, and officials are hoping it will stand tall for many more years to come, despite recent actions that may have put the tree in danger. “We would like to see that oak live forever, we hope,” Oakland Township Supervisor Robin Buxar said. “We know nothing lives totally forever, but we are doing our darndest.” See TREE on page 22A
