There are a lot of common misconceptions about dead trees. Here are a few of them:
- Dead trees don’t need to be removed: Many people believe that dead trees can just be left alone and they won’t cause any problems. This is not true. Dead trees pose risks of falling branches, attracting pests, and potential property damage.
- Dead trees don’t need to be inspected: This is not true. Dead trees need to be inspected to see if they’re structurally sound and if they pose any safety hazards.
- Dead trees don’t help the ecosystem: Dead trees do help the ecosystem. They help to provide habitats for birds, insects, and fungi. They help contribute to biodiversity.
