Reading through an essay passed along to me about Portland's Heritage Tree Program and a free downloadable field guide entitled From Stumptown to Tree Town by David-Paul Hedberg.
The project invites the public to explore various historical research methods, get outside to see history in the real world and connect to themes in urban, social and environmental history. The goal is to provide general audiences with a way to personally read and interpret the history of Portland through its Heritage Trees.
Wondering if a similar approach could be applied to Oak Tree Park in terms of creating some sort of online field guide. Perhaps with tie-ins to the bluebird box project and additional background on Garry Oak habitat and importance to indigenous culture.
