The Year of the Oak

Have you noticed an unusually large amount of acorns falling from oak trees this fall? This is because this year is a “mast year” for some species of oak trees. Learn more about why oak trees mast, what significance this has on our forests, and how oaks and wildlife alike benefit from this adaptation.
