A PDF document highlights this tree grove and reads:

The Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees standing in the 4th Street area of Old Town are a remnant of the native tree stands that once dominated the Wilsonville area landscape. Standing in the heart of Old Town the trees are approximately 120 years and older and many stand over 100-feet tall. The grove was nominated as a Heritage Tree Grove by Sue Guyton, a life long Wilsonville/Old Town resident and community volunteer who served for many years on the city’s Planning Commission. In 2009, as part of an Eagle Scout project, the grove was signed as the Sue Guyton Heritage Tree Grove in memory of Ms. Guyton who passed away in 2008.
