Hiking
🍂 Deadwood isn't just dead material, it's habitat: woodpeckers, owls, beetles, fungi, spiders, salamanders, dormice, and even snakes use dead trees as shelter or food sources.
The panel shows how tree remains become dens, nesting sites, or insect havens – and explains why the forest would be poorer, drier, and quieter without deadwood.
💡 Tip:
On your hike, keep an eye out for hollow trunks or mossy rootstocks – there's more life there than meets the eye.
