Overview
- The city finalized a roughly $932,800 plan to move the Old Stagecoach Heritage Oak to a new location a quarter-mile north.
- The relocation is slated for this fall with an estimated 30-day move and post-relocation care extending through 2027.
- Environmental Design, Inc. will provide 24 months of care that includes irrigation, annual mulching, and monthly arborist inspections.
- City-commissioned arborists cautioned that survival is not guaranteed, and officials committed to long-term maintenance to maximize the tree’s chances.
- The 51-inch-diameter live oak sits within six inches of the pavement; after protests and a 2,000-plus-signature petition, officials chose relocation over removal or road realignment.
