Stop 6 Foresters Trail
At this stop, you are near a den tree, also called a snag. These trees have broken tops or are dead but still standing. They provide cover for a variety of wildlife species, perches for predatory birds such as hawks, sources of insects for woodpeckers, a place for nesting and food storage, and recycle nutrients back to the soil as they decay. Without snags, an important component of wildlife habitat would be lost.
