Rupert The Oak Tree

The Town of Andover’s Tree Committee is working to find, document, and honor remarkable trees throughout the community through its Deep Roots program. One of Andover’s most remarkable trees is Rupert, a striking white oak in the Bald Hill Conservation Area that has stood for more than 250 years. Over the centuries, he has remained as a living connection to Andover’s history while continuing to provide important habitat and environmental benefits today. Learn more about Rupert, his place in Andover’s history, and why trees like him are so important to the community. Know another remarkable tree in Andover? The Tree Committee wants to hear about it. Submit your nomination to the Deep Roots program and help us identify the trees that help tell Andover’s story.
