WATCH THE RECORDING

Dead wood – dead standing trees or snags, downed wood in streams and on land, decaying wood with cavities – is important for wildlife habitat and vegetation communities. Dr. Pepper Trail, naturalist and ornithologist, will discuss cavity-nesting birds and other wildlife. Eighty-five bird species nest in cavities in North America, and snags are also essential to many mammal species. Lance Wyss, restoration biologist, will discuss downed large and small wood - the biological legacy guiding stream processes.

This talk is organized by Siskiyou Chapter, Native Plant Society of Oregon with guest speakers from the Rogue Valley Audubon Society and Rogue River Watershed Council, and sponsored by the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy and Pollinator Project Rogue Valley.
