THE MIGHTY OAK



A mature oak tree provides a home for more animals than any other European tree. Thirty species of birds, forty-five different insects and over two hundred species of moth have been collected from oaks. In one year the mature tree can produce 90, 000 acorns. Many animals feed on them. The wood pigeon can hold 70 in its crop at any one time and can eat 120 in a day
