Certified arborists @krystnparmley and @bendelaney got after it yesterday in the cold! :) Sometimes when trees need to be taken down we are able to repurpose them as wildlife snags. These dead trees are incredibly important features within natural forests as well as the urban environment as they provide habitat for a variety of creatures (including the bats we hope will inhabit those slats on the front side of this one). The very next day after @bendelaney made this snag, a young eagle came to check it out! (Last slide) Sometimes when trees need to be taken down we are able to repurpose them as wildlife snags.
