Snags…dead trees full of life!

The woods are full of dead and dying trees, yet needed for their beauty to complete the beauty of the living....

John Muir

At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.

Albert Camus

Dead trees aren’t failures — they are full ecosystems in progress.

What looks finished to us becomes shelter, food, and safe cover for wildlife.
