TREES OF OHIO field guideDIVISION OF WILDLIFEINTRODUCTIONF orests in Ohio are diverse, with 99 different tree spe-cies documented. This field guide covers 69 of the species you are most likely to encounter across the state. We hope that this guide will help you appre-ciate this incredible part of Ohio s natural resources. TREES are a magnificent living resource. They provide shade, beauty, clean air and water, good soil, as well as shelter and food for wildlife. They also provide us with products we use every day, from firewood, lum-ber, and paper, to food items such as walnuts and maple syrup. The forest products industry generates $ billion in economic activity in Ohio; however, TREES contribute to much more than our economic well-being. The more we learn about TREES , the more we can un-derstand, protect, and enjoy booklet is produced by the ODNR Division of Wildlife as a free publication. This booklet is not for resale.
