TREES PLANTED TO MAKE A SMILEY FACE ON A HILLSIDE

 


From the video below by The OregonianhOregonian

"South of Hwy. 18 at roughly milepost 25, between Willamina and Grande Ronde, trees on Hampton Lumber land form a giant smiley face each fall.

 

In 2011, Hampton Lumber created the design by planting a mix of Douglass fir and Larch during a reforestation of the area. Larch trees are conifers with needles that yellow and drop in autumn, and they make up the body of the face. Douglass fir makes up the eyes and mouth.

 

The smiley face should return each fall for the next 30-50 years, until the trees are ready to be harvested for lumber.".
