There is no Oak Wall. Please. A people who worship a forest god build a wooden wall around a kingdom? Is this a forest god who hates forests? Do a little math, this kind of project would deforest the kingdom in a few years. The labor requirements to upkeep this wall would be build-the-pyramids kind of labor. Ninja gnomes with lasers that shoot out of their eyes make more sense than the Oak Wall.

Well, the only provinces that show up as forests are Hollenvak and Saarskaep (and this is only partially forested.) There is even a mention that 'shipwrights were forced to import mast timbers for the next 100 years.) And when they speak of upkeep, 'the varied materials and methods employed through the Wall's history have made it appear much like a patchwork dam'.

It appears, based on the walls description, that they took inspiration from Hadrian's wall in England (122 AD.) That was a fairly large undertaking and consisted of stone, turf, and wooden structures depending on the area.

I assume the sponsor of the tribe would overlook or assist his chosen tribe through priests/ druids growing or accelerating growth of trees for this endeavor. Or, take a page from Hadrian and say the wall was named in honor of their god, had subtle use of Oak but resembled the construction of Hadrian's.

Its still a wall with no purpose, or a purpose better served at infinitely less cost by other means.
