Nature Notes: Snag; More than just a dead tree If a tree is dead then it should be cut down, right? The answer to that question is not always yes. Just because dying trees are leaf-less does not mean that they are life-less. A dead tree that is left upright to decompose naturally is called a snag. These dead trees are actually full of life and play a vital role in providing habitat to many types of wildlife.
SNAGS PROVIDE• A Place to Live – Stags can be a home for many animals including birds, squirrels and raccoons.• A Food Source – Stags attract insects, mosses, lichens and fungi that make a great buffet for wildlife.• A “Crow’s Nest” – High, leaf-less branches provide excellent lookouts for birds of prey, searaching for a snack• A Hiding Place – Squirrels put stags to good use by storing food in the many nooks and crannies of the deadwood.
Keeping stags in your yard can create a refuge for hundreds of woodland creatures. A tree that falls and is lying on the ground is also prime real estate for all sorts of native wildlife.
