New Home with 10 Acres - Seeking Habitat advice/opinions

[csamps10]

Thanks for the feedback I'll try to get an update here for folks on the progress. We didnt get nearly as many planted as shown above but we did get the south edge planted, the inside of the creek to the pond and then the dogwood and hazelnuts near the pond. Lots learned and hopefully will make next spring even better. Only dreaming of having equipment to make this process easier... time for something more than the garden tractor!

Maybe plant some pin oaks on the west bank of that pond and in the flood plane of that small creek. Ducks I believe like their small acorns

And pin oaks tolerate wetter soils. I know of some dandies growing at the edge of a swamp. Wild - no care & they look great.
