What good is a dead tree? It can’t grow. It can’t produce oxygen. It can’t provide shade from leaves. Dead trees are an important part of our environment. Dead trees support a large community of organisms in several different ways.🌳 Dead trees are home to more than 85 types of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians in Illinois. 🌳 Insects, slugs, spiders, worms, fungi, bacteria, and other small organisms use dead trees. Some of them eat the wood. Some of them eat other organisms in, on, or near the wood. Some of them use the dead tree for shelter.🌳 Some animals, like woodpeckers, make a cavity in a dead tree to place their nest.🌳 Little brown bats and Indiana bats are among the bat species in Illinois that raise their young under the bark of a dead tree.🌳 Fungi, bacteria, and mosses live on or in dead trees. They obtain food while helping to decompose the dead tree, returning its nutrients to the soil to be used again.Para más información: www2.illinois.gov/dnr/outreach/kidsconservation/Pages/ArchiveMar2018.aspx ...

Thanks to the Meehan Elementary School Blue and Green Club and BCCD volunteers, we had 12 volunteers to help clear honeysuckle from an oak woodland in Spencer Conservation Area. We will have more room for young oaks and woodland flowers to grow this year because of your help!
