‘Old Glory’ oak tree in Stevenson Ranch named historic landmark – NBC Los Angeles

‘Old Glory’ oak tree in Stevenson Ranch named historic landmark – NBC Los Angeles


An old oak tree rooted in controversy was assigned a historical landmark on Tuesday following a unanimous vote from the LA County Board of Supervisors.

Developers in 2002 were poised to knock down the oak tree “Old Glory” to make way for a subdivision in the Santa Clarita Valley.

The tree was eventually saved with the help of efforts from one man.

Environmental activist John Quigley spent 71 days on a wooden platform in the tree in protest of the city’s removal plan. Quigley would soon learn not everyone agreed with him.

“The windstorms, all the threats, the gunshots, the exploding mailboxes,” said Quigley.

When asked if it was worth it, Quigley’s response was “absolutely.”

A compromise was met and the tree was carefully removed from its original location and then replanted at its current home at Pico Canyon Park.

After 22 years since Quigley climbed the tree, Old Glory has become an LA County Historic Landmark, giving it protection from ever being targeted again.

“That tree is an incredible teacher, and I think will continue to teach now, with this landmark status,” said Quigley. “Never underestimate the power of one person to create a sea of change in society.”

Arborists believe the tree’s life dates back to the 1600s.

Line Fire flares up, prompts new evacuation order in San Bernardino County – NBC Los Angeles


New evacuation orders were issued for a community in San Bernardino County due to a flare-up from the Line Fire Sunday afternoon.

As of 4:23 p.m. the San Bernardino County sheriff issued an evacuation order for the Seven Oaks community, and an evacuation warning was issued for the community of Angelus Oaks.

The flare-up was caused by higher temperatures and lower humidity. Flames were active in areas that have yet to burn, leaving a lot of unburned fuel, the U.S. Forest Service tells NBC4.

San Bernardino County Fire re-entered UnifiedCommand due to the ongoing threat and coordinated “Structure Defense assets staged in the area with additional assets en route.”

The arson-related Line Fire started Sept. 5 and grew to 39,200 acres with containment Sunday at 83 percent.

The flare-up has not impacted the containment percentage. Air tankers have been ordered and are expected to fly first thing tomorrow morning for retardant drops.
