Our neighborhood development designation started as Oak Knoll. The 1945 photograph compared to images from 1998 and 2016, graphically showing our tree loss.

Pine pitch canker took almost all the pine trees. Something is killing the Oaks, whatever virus it is has a defined pattern, the majority of the survivors show the exact symptoms. Let’s see if something can be done with our NIP funds.
