The City of Tumwater is trying to cut this tree down, despite the city's own arborist saying behind closed doors that the tree is not high risk.

This is not just any tree, but a tree with cultural importance, historic significance, and community meaning. The Davis Meeker Garry Oak in Tumwater, WA is 400 years old (middle-aged for this type of tree), a beloved landmark known to many as the "big beautiful tree by the airport." Others recognize it by its historical name as a registered landmark on the Cowlitz Trail, part of the Oregon Trail. It stands as one of the most beautiful and majestic mature White Oaks in our area.

This tree adds immense cultural and aesthetic value to our community. It has witnessed generations pass by and has been an integral part of local history. We must act now to ensure its preservation for future generations, as well as making it safe to stay where it is without threat to public safety.

Please join us in saving this irreplaceable piece of our heritage. Sign this petition to show your support for preserving the Davis Meeker Garry Oak Tree!
