It may be surprising, but dead and dying trees are very important to various wildlife species, in both natural and landscaped settings.
Adopt A Stream Foundation’s Streamkeeper Academy presents “Wildlife Trees” at 3 p.m. Wednesday in the Northwest Stream Center auditorium at Snohomish County’s McCollum Park, 600 128th St. SE, Everett.
Biologist Chris Anderson of the Department of Fish and Wildlife will talk about the role dead trees play for wildlife and local species that depend on snags and dying trees for their life needs.
You’ll learn how to find the best help to assess and manage perceived hazard tree situations on your property while considering wildlife value. Bring pictures of your problem trees.
Everyone who attends will receive a free copy of “Wildlife Trees: the Importance of Snags in Your Neighborhood.” The event should be of interest to homeowners with trees near their house, master gardeners, landscapers and bird watchers.
Admission is $5 for Adopt A Stream Foundation members, $7 for nonmembers. Proceeds benefit Streamkeeper Academy.
