Lincoln Park Zoo visitors say goodbye to a tree that is older than Chicago.
If a tree could talk, this bur oak tree would tell you about the history of Chicago and its roots.
The long storied life of this bur oak tree in the heart of the Lincoln Park Zoo dates back anywhere from 250 to 300 years.It pre-dates the founding of Chicago. Despite years of loving care from the horticultural staff, the mighty oak has reached its natural end of life.It's scheduled to be removed on Monday as a safety measure, because its heavy canopy branches reach over public pathways.
