Snags and Rotting Logs

We had another Four Winds lesson this week. Patrick, Lauren, and Kelly shared how important trees are even when they are no longer living. The children learned about snags and how animals will make their homes in standing trees that are no longer living. They also learned what happens when the standing snag falls down and becomes a rotting log. They saw how the log will change over time and how it decomposes. They enjoyed looking at snags and rotting logs in the woods and finding evidence that other living things are using it as their habitat.
