Components of a Nature Habitat - Nut and Acorn Trees


The definitive website on plants & horticulture



Not everyone will be blessed with all sixteen Habitat Components on their property.

This does not mean that introducing as many as possible will not enhance wildlife. The key is to understand each of the components, what they are, how they assist in nature and what wildlife will be assisted by their availability.

Nut and Acorn Trees

Nuts and acorns are seeds called hard mast. Many animals depend on hard mast throughout the fall and winter. Wild turkey, blue jays, wood duck, red and gray squirrels, raccoons and white-tailed deer all use hard mast for food. Trees such as oak, hazel and beech produce nuts and also have natural cavities that are used for nesting and shelter by many wildlife species.
