Gray Squirrel in a Botanical Garden
A gray squirrel sits attentively on a wooden garden table while holding a fresh acorn. Scattered maple and oak leaves carpet the surface around the table in a botanical garden setting.
Foraging Habits of Tree Squirrels
Eastern gray squirrels spend late summer and early autumn collecting seeds, nuts, and acorns to prepare for cold weather. They practice scatter hoarding, burying hundreds of individual acorns across gardens and woodlands. Thanks to their spatial memory and smell, squirrels retrieve most buried nuts, though forgotten acorns often germinate into new oak trees. Botanical gardens provide diverse plant species that support large squirrel populations year-round.
