Oak Tree Park - Tacoma

Oak Tree Park is a pilot project of the Green Tacoma Partnership, a collaborative effort to inventory and assess Tacoma's green spaces and develop a plan for their protection and restoration. The Green Tacoma Partnership is coordinated by Tahoma Audubon and Forterra.  The woodlands are special ecosystems that established themselves on gravelly soil left behind by glaciers 15,000 years ago.  Garry oak woodlands are Priority Habitat since many rare species rely on this ecosystem to survive.
