The latest subject of Stephen Malkoff  ̶  one of the nation's leading naturalist artists  ̶  is the Fairchild Oak. This mighty oak is one of the largest live oak trees in the South. The tree has stood for centuries as a silent witness to the clearing of the wilderness for plantations. In 1836 this tree stood witness to the destruction of the settlements on Bulow Creek by raiding Seminole Indians. The Fairchild Oak is the park's patriarch amongst numerous plantation ruins, most hidden in the undergrowth of the forest. All ruins are protected as state archaeological sites.
