A bill to amend title 36, United States Code to designate the oak tree as the national tree of the United States.

This bill proposes to officially designate the oak tree (genus Quercus) as the national tree of the United States. By adding the oak tree to the list of national symbols in the U.S. Code, the bill would formally recognize the tree’s historical and cultural significance to the country. For everyday citizens, this change would be primarily symbolic, placing the oak tree alongside other national icons like the bald eagle and the star-spangled banner in official federal recognition.
