Animals like the kit fox will dig inside the plant-pedestal under the skunkbush sumac to build their homes. Birds will use the plant as a place to build a nest. The berries it produces are important source of foot for birds and small mammals once other food sources become scarce or unavailable during the fall and winter. Even a dead skunkbush sumac is useful because the pedestal will remain and is a good place to build a home.
