To Pennsylvania’s human population, this year’s abundant acorn crop means more debris to sweep off the sidewalk. To the state’s wildlife, however, lots of acoms on the ground spells good fortune, according to a wildlife expert in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. “Across the United States, almost 100 animal species rely on acorns as a major food source,” says Richard Yahner, professor of wildlife conservation. “In Penn sylvania, at least 20 to 25 species use acorns as a major source of food." Yahner says a variety of factors can account for a bountiful acorn crop. Some oak species drop acorns every year, while other species develop acorns every two years. Abundant moisture as well as drought conditions also can affect the number of acoms pro duced in a season. “In low crop years, the birthrate for some species of wildlife, such as gray squirrels, will decline the following year,” Yahner says.

M\ LEADERSHIP AT WORK Abundant Acorns Mean Good Year For Wildlife “Because of the increased compe tition for food, some species will have a tough time. “This year’s crop means that more young are likely to be pro duced by the animals that forage for food,” Yahner adds. Acorns are available to wildlife for a relatively short period during the fall, requiring each species to develop specific methods to take advantage of the crop. Acorns, which are highly digestible and rich in carbohydrates, serve a wide range of animals in a variety of ways. Bears and deer, for instance, eat acorns to put on a layer of fat which sustains the bear through its hibernation and helps the deer make it through severe winter con ditions. Such animals as squirrels, chipmunks, blue jays and forest mice store acorns in caches and burrows or by burying them. “The public tends to think of KERMIT K CLUGSTON FARM DUNKLE A ENFIELD KISTLER INC.

He also points out that an insect pest, the acorn weevil, can infest up to 50 percent of an acorn crop. Wildlife plays a big part in for est regeneration, Yahner says. Squirrels can bury hundreds of acoms, at least some of which will take root. “Acorns drop like mar bles out of the tree and many ani mals help distribute these seeds in the forest,” he says. “Squirrels and other wildlife are crucial to oak regeneration.” FINCH SERVICES HANOVER INC.
