13. Barn, West Virginia University

IDNO:
017611
Title:
Barn, West Virginia University
'West Virginia's best known oak tree, the third largest in the world and the largest in the state, is alive in WVU's Arboretum and as healthy as can be expected for a 400 year old tree. It's survival was inadvertently threatened last year by construction plans which inspired protests from throughout the state. When the architect's plans were revealed, WVU had them revised to spare the tree, which is about 80 feet high and 16 feet, five inches in circumference. It's top is missing, main trunk is hollow, scar on side. Warren G. Tennant, groundkeeper.'

'A Japanese Garden? No, it's a West Virginia hillside and has the best landscape gardner in the world--mother nature. Most gardeners would reject every species of plant in this two-acre exposure of Pocono sandstone but nature has work for all of them. The area is located a few miles from WVU's Terra Alta Biological station in Preston County. It is used as a natural labratory for the study of plant succession, the process where by nature in time clothes all bare areas with a covering of vegetation.'
