Do forest animals prefer certain tree species or is any type of forest OK?
Most species of birds and animals have a preference for a certain forest type, and often prefer a specific tree species. Wolves and yellow-bellied sapsuckers, for example, generally prefer large areas of forest. Grouse and snowshoe hare prefer younger forests which exist after fire or harvest. A forest with oak trees is more hospitable to squirrels and wild turkey than one without.
