Every Fall, A Smiley Face Emerges From This Oregon Forest
October 28, 2021
Every fall a hillside along Oregon's highway 18 greets passersby with a giant smiley face formed by trees.

The trees were planted by Hampton Lumber in 2011.
It consists of douglas fir and larch trees.

Larch trees are conifers with needles that yellow and drop in autumn.
Douglas fir makes up the eyes and mouth.

The smiley face is about 300 feet wide in diameter and will return every fall for the next 30-50 years, until the trees are harvested for lumber.
