Yes, squirrels do chew on oak tree branches. They often gnaw on the bark and wood to maintain their teeth, which continuously grow. Additionally, they may strip leaves and acorns from oak trees for food. This behavior can sometimes lead to damage to the tree, especially if the chewing is extensive.
