However, oaks provide food and habitat to more kinds of wildlife than any other, and the fallen foliage can provide shelter for invertebrates that in turn feed birds and larger animals. Members of the red oak group that we see often in Saugus include northern red oak (Quercus rubra), pin oak (Quercus palustris), black oak (Quercus velutina) and scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea). The last two are abundant in Lynn Woods near Walnut Street and in Breakheart Reservation, but are not often planted in gardens. Pin oak (Quercus palustris) is the most popular oak species for street tree and park plantings in northern climates. Among the many places you can find pin oaks are in front of Town Hall and at the Lynnhurst School near Walnut Street. They have a very distinctive silhouette, with lower branches angling downward, those bella Johnson, as well as many other relatives and friends.

Red oak (Quercus rubra) is also sometimes planted as street trees, but they are also very common in the wild areas of Saugus. The three red oaks on my property grew wild here over 70 years ago.
