Angel Oak

There's a gigantic old oak tree on John's Island.  A developer wants to build very close to the tree, and cut down the "forest" near it.  There are environmentalists fighting this project.

the tree is six stories high.  It's believed to be at least 300 years old, but some believe it to be as old as 1000 years old.
