Balch Ancient Forest Grove

Overview

In this area of the Bird Alliance of Oregon's Pittock Sanctuary, around the junctions of the Ancient Forest Loop with the Jay Trail, there are a handful of old growth Douglas-firs. One has a platform built around it; just uphill from it is another of greater girth. These trees were well-established before settlers arrived in the area and may be over 250 years old.
