  1. Dead #trees are not wasted timber dollars - they are sources of food for literally thousands of beings in a #forest #ecosystem, from tiny microscopic beings to insectivorous birds. Standing dead trees are known as snags, while a fallen dead trees are nurse logs. A cut or natural stump can serve the same #ecological function as a #NurseStump.

    Nature wastes nothing. If there is a nutrient source to be had, there is a being to benefit from it. Nurse logs, standing snags & nurse stumps play hosts to all sorts of mosses, lichens, fungi, insects & arthropods, many hidden deep inside, as well as other living beings that prey on them.

    Nurse #stumps are still deeply rooted; new plant, tree & fungi life grows out of their tops. Nurse stumps & dead stumps that have no new growth atop are like anchor systems for living trees growing in forests. You destabilize the ecosystem when you remove them from their natural #environment.

  6. @Cheeseness let's create more of those #habitats --> "#Skinks enjoy large areas with a lot of leaves and soft soil. They are normally found around hot and dusty areas that have many #trees and #stumps."

  11. So, knocking over some old Aspen stumps to make way for the goats' electric fence, I accidentally stumbled upon a wasp nest.

    Note to self (and potentially others): If you ever plan on knocking over old stumps, check for any activity first. It hurts getting stung.

    Also, the way they started swarming I thought it must surely be a honeybee hive. But alas, it was not.
