| General Notes: |
This magnificent white spruce is an historical landmark for the village of Gretna and surrounding community. Recent research conducted by the village indicated that the white spruce in question is situated on a lot that was the site of the first public school in the community; construction of the school commenced in 1882. Based on this research it is also believed that this spruce may well have been part of the original school yard tree plantings that may have taken place as early as 1884. The school building has since been demolished and replaced with residential housing, but the tree has been preserved. It is now well over 100 years old.
