In the heart of the city, Jolene, an oak tree that is approximately four centuries old, is about to be uprooted due to a road widening project. Officially named Old Stagecoach Heritage Oak Tree, this monumental tree, with its 1.3-meter diameter trunk, symbolizes the region’s historical and cultural fabric; however, it is thought to be causing traffic congestion due to its location.

Municipal officials state that the tree’s current position creates a narrow opening on the road and that planning is underway for a safe relocation. The transplant will be carried out by moving it roughly 400 meters to a new roadside park. This decision has sparked serious debates among local residents.

More than 2,500 locals have signed a petition to halt the relocation process to prevent damaging the roots. Among opponents is Casey Landers; “This tree is older than the U.S. itself. We must protect it,” he says, emphasizing the need for a safer place to store the tree.

The municipality acknowledges the risks involved in the relocation but emphasizes that all necessary measures will be taken to ensure the tree’s survival. The official website states, “Relocating does not guarantee survival… However, the city will continue long-term care efforts to give the living oak the best chance,” including regular watering, mulching, and monthly expert inspections.

The operation officially began as of July, with an estimated cost of approximately $932,800. Tasks such as root pruning, regular watering of the root ball, and soil treatment to support root development have been completed. The relocation process is scheduled to start in the fall and is expected to last about a month. Once finished, Jolene is planned to be carefully monitored under special care until the fall of 2027.
