One of Nebraska's oldest trees has died
PONCA, Neb. (KCAU) — Officials with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission say one of the state's oldest trees has died. Old Wolf Oak has stood in what is now Ponca State Park for more than 380 years. The tree had become a popular woodland destination for parks visitors. What you need to know before you go: June 2, 2025 The Commission says prolonged extreme drought conditions are likely the chief culprit in the bur oak's death. Bur oaks are drought resistant, but do have their limits. Extended drought causes dieback in the tree canopy and root systems. The effect is similar to when a person's immune system is weakened. The drought has created an opening for afflictions like bur oak blight and fungal infections to impact trees in many state parks along Nebraska's eastern border. Both diseases are unlikely to kill a tree on their own, but combined with drought, it opens the door to worse infections and a higher likelihood of tree death.

After consulting with experts in states with similar issues, the Commission has developed a comprehensive response plan, which includes the removal and destruction of infected trees and limbs. Another area of focus is limiting the spread of invasive species, and encouraging native vegetative growth in newly-cleared areas. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
