About this stamp:
Issued during the annual convention of the American Forestry Association, this stamp features the white oak, a native to the United States.

This fine tree is native to the eastern part of North America and can be very impressive in terms of both appearance and longevity. It will grow fairly tall inside a forest, but when in the open it spreads horizontally rather than attaining height. Specimens have been known to reach an age of 450 years or more. Despite its name, the bark is usually light gray rather than white, and it is in the bark that its many beneficial herbal qualities can be found. It is a favorite wood for use in furniture and flooring.
