What can you do for Oak Trees?
Seeking high and low
The best way to learn about nature is to get out there with it! Download the Seek app and become an expert in plants! Seek is also a great tool for citizen science because of its plant identification feature. Simply use your camera to scan a plant in your yard or on a hike to learn more about it and its role in the environment!
What does the Cincinnati Zoo do for Oak Trees?
The Cincinnati Zoo is also a Botanical Garden! From landscaping in our animals’ habitats to the garden beds around the Zoo, our Horticulture team and Exceptional Plant Research team from CREW are big advocates for plants and trees. One way we help with the Oak trees is by researching population management, breeding, and reintroduction of saplings.
