To celebrate its survival, members of the community plan to have an afternoon of rallies and speeches Saturday
Activist Travis Jochimsen climbs the 400-year-old oak nicknamed ‘Old Glory,’ in Santa Clarita, Calif., Monday, Dec. 2, 2002. The protest around the tree took on an added sense of urgency Monday when rumors swept through this suburb north of Los Angeles that a developer was about to carry out a plan to relocate the tree.
Environmentalist and tree-sitter John Quigley, center, in blue, and several people visit the 400-year-old oak tree, “Old Glory,” on Monday, March 21, 2005, in Santa Clarita, Calif. Quigley spent 71 days in its branches during a protest when the tree was at its former site. The tree was moved by developers in January 2004.
A group led by the Santa Clarita Organization for Planning and the Environment will host a celebration of Old Glory at 1 p.m. Saturday at Pico Canyon Park, where the tree was moved and continues to grow. The small group of protesters grew slowly. It attracted children from the community, national and international media. And Old Glory, named by two boys from Santa Clarita, became a celebrity in a few weeks. Friends of the Santa Clara River and The Oaks Conservancy joined the campaign. Plambeck helped form a task force to work with the developer and political authorities to come up with options for Old Glory.
“I remember being so deeply affected and so deeply impacted by what I saw, by the demonstration, by the dedication, and by putting actions to beliefs,” Badger said.
