Oliver is a squirrel and he loves to keep me company all year long. He gets into mischief with Mrs. Jones because he likes to eat the yummy carrots in the garden. 

He makes cute little squeaks and noises as he gathers my acorns that fall to the ground. Oliver likes to build nests high up in my branches. 

Oliver is very important to the environment because he and other squirrels will gather seeds and nuts and bury them in the ground. Sometimes they will come back to get what they buried but other times the seeds and nuts sprout into new plants and trees.

Here is a cute video that shows a squirrel burying an acorn.
