A dead tree needlessly cut down and hauled away is a tree deprived of half its life value and commendable destiny.  Gillian Martin’s presentation unveils the habitat value of dead trees. 

She persuasively illustrates their contribution to the diversity and sustainability of forests, yes, even the urban forest. 

You will learn what to consider when selecting and retaining a hazardous tree as a habitat tree in the urban forest, and Gillian hopes you will forever view a dead tree with greater interest and a desire to safely retain them when possible.
