Acorn trees clustered
An oak forest is a woodland where oak trees are the dominant species, common across temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
These forests support distinctive ecosystems—acorns feed deer, squirrels, and wild boar, while the canopy shelters countless birds and insects.
We hiked through an ancient oak forest in the Ozarks.
