Don't get rid of Russian olive trees

For decades, the Soil Conservation Service sold Russian olive trees for windbreaks and wildlife habitat in the Columbia Basin. They will grow in alkaline soil and are drought-tolerant and therefore well adapted to our area. The Washington Ornithological Society has identified 92 species of birds that utilize Russian olives in the Columbia Basin. While some of those are merely using them to roost and any tree would do, many of those species are dependent on their fruit for a food source. Besides birds using them for a habitat, many animals depend on these trees: deer browse and seek shade and shelter in the Russian olive thickets, beavers cut material for dams and pygmy rabbits eat the fruits. The thorny thickets are a favorite hiding spot for Bre’r Rabbit.
