Why celebrate oak trees?

  • Oak trees are a keystone species -  entire ecosystems depend on them for survival and habitat. Acorns from oak trees feed more than 100 different wildlife species. 
  • Ecologist Doug Tallamy found that over 500 species of butterfly and moth caterpillars live on oak trees, more than on any other tree. These insects play an important role in the food web because they are a food source for birds and other animals. 
  • Their large branches provide shade and reduce the air temperature.
  • They help reduce flooding and erosion by absorbing rainwater. Their complex root network also filters harmful substances out of water.
  • Some species of oak trees can live for centuries.
  • They are beautiful!
