A, Celtis pallida, the desert hackberry, because of its great importance for wildlife and the dense cover it 
produces, should prove of outstanding value in planting for soil and wildlife conservation. PB, Cercidium 
torreyanum. The recorded value of the paloverde as food for wildlife is not great, but as cover for soil and 
wildlife in arid regions its value is obvious. (Photograph by U.S. Forest Service.)
