This is a partial/incomplete listing as I have not yet explored the White Oak Preserve.
From the land trust site,
"The preserve was donated by Walter J. Moran in January 1969 to the Nature Conservancy which Dr. Richard Goodwin, Connecticut College Professor of Botany and CC Arboretum Director (1944-1975), helped establish. In 1989 the Nature Conservancy transferred the deed to the West Farms Land Trust, now known as the Waterford Land Trust. Goodwin stated “The tract is in an interesting stage of ecological succession from agricultural land to forest. These magnificent trees and the varied ground cover of wildflowers will be ours to enjoy in the years to come.” It was noted at the time that one of the ancient oaks was in poor shape, and “said parcel is being conveyed for the purpose of studying the process of forest growth taking over the land once cultivated.”
