A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
The Pacific University Master Landscape Master Plan (2010) includes a section on recommendations for the management of the Oak Grove into perpetuity.
"The Oak Grove is a Natural Resource Area for upland habitat and is governed as such under Article 5 of the City of Forest Grove Development Code". (p. V-17)
The section on wildlife specifies the importance of managing the Oak Grove as a wildlife habitat. "Oregon white oak trees are very important for wildlife. Oak woodlands provide food and habitat for many species including acorn woodpecker and Merriam's wild turkey. Both acorns and foliage provide high-quality food for these and many other animals." (p. V-19).
