🌳🐦 Woodpeckers are the forest's primary cavity builders, but they aren't the only ones using those spaces. Nearly 20% of bird species worldwide rely on these tree cavities for nesting and staying warm.

What’s the Hole Deal with Woodpecker Holes?

Woodpeckers are the forest's primary cavity builders. Throughout the year, they excavate various holes, some for raising chicks, others for overnight

A gnarled, moss-covered tree trunk is arched over a grassy field, surrounded by misty woods. The atmosphere is tranquil and eerie, with bare trees fading into the fog in the background.

Redwood National and State Parks this morning.

Tides determine when access to this coastal area in Redwood National and State Parks is possible. With the recent full moon, sand has been carried quite a ways up the beach, with some even being deposited on top of the large pieces of driftwood near the back of the beach (foreground). In the background, lines of breaking waves approach the shore. In the center, a large near-shore rock stands out against the blue sky. Wave-like patterns appear on the driftwood in the foreground, which might suggest that this is a piece of curly redwood.

Redwood National and State Parks (U.S. National Park Service)

Renowned for the world’s tallest trees, Redwood’s landscapes span from open prairies and oak woodlands to pristine rivers and untamed coastline. This ancient home has supported people for thousands of years. The National Park Service and California State Parks now work to safeguard and rejuvenate these lands for everyone’s enjoyment, learning, and inspiration.

“In its new forest plan, the Victorian government has funded a “healthy forests” program. This will likely entail reducing the number of trees in the forest and increasing the space between trees. This plan could lead to extensive mechanical thinning in the state’s forests.😩 What effect will this have? Could it be harmful? And is it necessary for forest health? 🤔
#australia #nature #forest #trees
We describe how mountain ash forests naturally change over time, from young, dense and uniform forests 15 years after wildfire, to forests with lower densities of large trees (and smaller trees) in older age.

Our work suggests HUMAN INTERVENTION IS NOT NEEDED to reduce the density of trees or create a diversity of tree sizes needed for wildlife.”
