Poison-oak is great (unless I touch it). I have a list of many bird  
and mammal species all across the country that utilize poison-oak.  
Sometimes it is the berries and sometimes (as in the case of deer) it  
is the foliage. When the City of Eugene was planning their  
restoration work around Delta Ponds and wanting to replant with  
native species, I encouraged them to consider using this plant. Not  
only is it a native species that is utilized by some wildlife but it  
also helps keep people from sensitive areas. Some of the people  
involved agreed that it was a good idea but I don't think they will  
ever deliberately plant it. It was already present so I am sure that  
it will come up again on its own.
