Happy Birthday to us! One year ago in April a small handful of people came together in a coffee shop in Oak Harbor and shared thoughts about our local Garry oaks. We identified the urgent need for oak conservation and chose a name for ourselves-the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who have committed your time and resources to help keep the OAK in Oak Harbor.
