Ocean Springs Live Oak Project

A living legacy of shade and resilience.

Ocean Springs’ identity has long been connected to its trees. The trail celebrates historic live oaks and other notable trees that shade streets, homes, and parks while standing as living reminders of the city’s history, resilience, and beauty.

Larry Tucei, founder of the Ocean Springs Live Oak Project, has spent decades documenting, preserving, and caring for the trees that make the Mississippi Gulf Coast beautiful, shady, and resilient.

Do you know of a significant live oak? The project welcomes nominations for trees with a circumference of 15 feet or larger.
