Squirrels Nesting In My Old Oak Tree- Can They Hurt It?
Q: Squirrels appear to be nesting in a knot hole in my ancient oak tree. Will they hurt it?
A: I can’t think of any damage the squirrels might do. They don’t gnaw oak bark nor do they enlarge a nesting area into living wood, which could damage the tree.
