Tom, maybe could consult with Dave as to what they might prefer. Perhaps a nut tree for squirrels or a good sturdy shade tree. I could assess in daylight tomorrow, think I have some very transplantable young maple trees of a type that I have successfully moved around out here at Swampdog over the years and they've re-rooted well. There aren't many conifers native to NW Ohio, soil isn't desirable for them, but it is for oaks, sycamores, maples, ashes (until the emerald ash borer) - classic hardwood arboreal forest trees.

Earth Day Addendum
Dear NWOPC-ers,
Forgot to mention in my email of a moment ago: David at UT asked what type of tree we had in mind to plant. I suggested a native sapling (dogwood?redbud? conifer?--you probably have more knowledge about this) that would be larger than a seedling, and thus a bit more substantial for media purposes. I have not priced trees at a nursery, but assume that we would cover this cost. I can help with this if need be.
Thanks,
-- Tom
