The Wood Mouse and Forest Seeds

How Wood Mice Help Oak Forests
Wood mice gather acorns, hazel nuts, and tree seeds throughout autumn to store in underground food caches. Because they bury thousands of acorns every season and occasionally forget some, wood mice act as natural tree planters that help regenerate oak forests. Their extraordinary jumping ability and keen senses allow them to forage safely during nighttime hours.
