(DECEMBER 5, 2020) There is a surprise in the forest. It is on Highway 18. It is between Willamina and Grande Ronde. The forest trees are smiling.
The face uses two kinds of trees. Douglas fir trees stay green. Larch trees brown in autumn. The Larch trees make the face.
Hampton Lumber planted the trees in 2011. People will see the smiley face for a long time. They will see it for 30-50 years more. Then the company will harvest the trees for wood.
