Have you ever looked at a giant of a tree, perhaps a big oak, and wondered what historical events it experienced during its lifetime? Some of these impressive trees are called “witness trees” and they have a special place in the history of Illinois and our earliest forest preserves. During this program, we’ll share a story of our regional witness, or “bearing” trees and provide you with the tools needed to discover witness trees in your own area.
