Considered a keystone species, oak trees support more critical habitat than any other North American tree. They are one of the most valuable tree types providing a strong sense of place in the Midwest, and are the National Tree of the United States. However, oaks are in decline.
We will host a screening of “The Nature of Oaks,” by Doug Tallamy. This 50-minute video will help you discover why oak trees are biodiversity powerhouses and will show you how to restore nature right in your own yard, no matter its size. You may find it is the perfect tree for your landscape.
After the screening there will be a question-and-answer session led by Emily Lubcke, Natural Resource Manager of the Galena Territory Association.
