This event has already occurred.
Status: Archived Volunteers are invited to help plant 10 new Live Oak trees on the “Avenue of Oaks”. A brief ceremony will precede the plantings near the brown fence by the Visitor’s Center. Holes will be dug in advance of the ceremony, making it easier for volunteers to help plant the 12-foot-tall saplings. This event will happen rain or shine.
The one-and-a-half-mile Live Oak lined avenue at Wormsloe State Historic Site was planted in the 1890s by Noble Jones’ descendant Wymberley Jones DeRenne. This breathtaking natural wonder was planted to celebrate the birth of his son Wymberley Wormsloe, the 6th generation of the family to reside at Wormsloe since its establishment in 1736. Wormsloe has set a goal to replace all missing Live Oaks by 2024. Over the past 130 years, 75 trees that have died from disease or storm.\
This event has been a large collaboration, with community organizations and individuals: The Rotary Club of Savannah and The Savannah Tree Foundation.
