The Registry of Nature Habitats - Nuts Components of a Nature Habitat
Structural: Living:
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 understant each of the components, what they are, how they assist in nature and what wildlife will be assisted by their availability. Living Plants that produce nuts and acorns -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.
