“Life After Death: The Importance of Dead and Dying Trees”
Speaker: Sam Nestory

Most people are familiar with the innumerable benefits of living trees – but even after their death, trees provide vital habitat, shelter, and food for wildlife. Join us as we learn how dead and dying trees still teem with life, from tiny termites to fantastic flying squirrels and everything in between!
