Trees are all-around awesome. And guess what? They're almost as valuable after death as in life. Consider this: there can be more living biomass in a dead standing tree than a same-sized living tree. Would that we all could leave behind such a legacy.
Thanks for that context, J.E.
Great post! For a bit more guidance, it's worth noting that a healthy forest or woods should have 2.5 standing dead trees (snags) per acre.
Perfect. That's what they are!
Beautiful photos! We call the dead trees that are part of our landscape "habitat trees."
