Efforts to safeguard the century-old Eskridge Oak at the Mary Washington Monument have continued this spring, with Tree Fredericksburg focusing on protecting the tree’s root system.

As construction of a nearby wall approaches, Anne Little said city officials are working to ensure the historic oak remains protected during and after the project. She says a Tree Protection Zone is ensuring the Eskridge Oak remains healthy.
