January 16, 2015, www.mailtribune.com | “New grant will help Lomakatsi restore 3,000 acres of ‘legacy’ oak habitat.  For the vast majority of its 400-plus years, a mammoth black oak rising from a hill outside of the Colestin Valley has been a vibrant giver of life.  Oak titmice would nest in its cavities while everything from black-tailed deer, woodpeckers and even Native Americans feasted on its bountiful acorn crop, but 60 years of bad neighbors have inflicted a heavy price.”
