💨 Abstract

Arbor Day, first observed in Nebraska in 1872, is an annual celebration dedicated to planting trees. This year, consider planting an oak tree, suggested by University of Delaware entomologist Doug Tallamy. Oaks are beneficial to the ecosystem as they support a diverse food web and have evolved alongside native insects. There are 91 species of oaks across North America, including dwarf oaks suitable for smaller properties.
