Remembering the Anderson Park Olmsted Oak
Montclair has lost Anderson Park’s historic Olmsted Oak. The majestic tree, estimated to be about 250 years old, fell down after Monday’s storm. “We are utterly heartbroken,” said Lisanne Renner, Friends of Anderson Park’s historian and co-founder. “This magnificent white oak was photographed by John Charles Olmsted in September 1904. It was a gorgeous centerpiece of this Olmsted-designed landscape and its boughs were leafy shelter for squirrels, birds and raccoons. Numerous weddings took place beneath its branches, and it holds a special place in so many hearts. Its demise drives home how important is it to steadily replant in Anderson Park, a key part of our mission.”
