State to Preserve Bio Oak

Recently John G. Whitall communicated
with the State Forestry commission that
the big oak on the former Tatem farm, on
Mantau creek, ought to be preserved. Last
week forester Gaskill came to Woodbury.
and Mr.. Whitail took him out to the great
tree. He was amazed at what he saw, and
declared it to be the largest oak tree in
New Jersey, if not in the United States
east of the Allegheny Mountains
In 1900 this tree was measured. Its
girth at the ground was 40 feet. Its diam
eter seven feet from the ground was 8 feet
2 inches the spread of it's branches was
1l6 feet, and its height was near 80 feet.
1t is the purpose Of the State Forestry
commission to preserve this tree against
probable accident and secure public en-
trance to it from the highway.
The tree is known hereabouss as the
Tatum Oak
