About the event
Did you know that more than 70% of birds in Wisconsin would be unable to feed their babies without the help of oak trees? Or that the tannins in oak leaves are the key to protecting amphibians and insects in oak woodlands? Based on the research of Dr. Doug Tallamy, this talk and walk will tell you why. And, if you have a chance to plant a tree at home, let it be an oak!
