The “Old Wolf Oak,” a burr oak with a 9.8-foot circumference located in Ponca State Park, was thought to be more than 380 years old. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission officials say that drought conditions in the eastern part of the state have created large areas of dead or declining mature trees, including the old oak tree.
