These four highly ornamental species attract pollinators and birds while promoting biodiversity.

• Yellow birch, a majestic tree with numerous medicinal and culinary properties. This pioneer species helps establish vegetation in disturbed areas while also providing habitat and food for many birds and small mammals.

• Chokecherry, a hardy small tree that produces abundant clusters of white flowers in spring, followed by red to black fruits. Though astringent and bitter when ripe, they are consumed by wildlife and can be used in jams, syrups, or jellies. A keystone plant for biodiversity, this tree attracts a variety of pollinators.

• Common hackberry, a resilient tree with dark green foliage that turns yellow in the fall and produces edible berries ranging from orange to deep purple. This tree, which withstands urban conditions and stabilizes soils, plays an important ecological role by attracting many birds, small mammals, and caterpillars.

• American mountain ash, a stunning tree with bright green, serrated compound leaves that turn golden and orange in the fall, and vivid red berries with medicinal and culinary properties. This tree attracts numerous birds and insects while its root system stabilizes soil and prevents erosion.
