Urban old growth fir trees on a rainy morning. This stand of fir trees and a nearby stand of old growth Oregon White Oaks have been protected as a city park for 100 years.

In the 100-year woods.
Two large second growth Douglas Firs stand on the edge of a younger stand of Firs. The younger stand may have grown in a clearing (for a field for livestock grazing, or extensive gardens, it’s not clear) made by settlers in the early part of the 20th century. This once-cleared area is lined by these large second growth Firs.
