Good Idea: Keep some standing deadwood

https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/habitats/deadwood/

Deadwood, including fallen branches, decaying stumps, and standing dead trees, is essential for woodland ecosystems. It recycles nutrients back into the soil, supports diverse wildlife, and hosts fungi that break down wood. Deadwood provides habitats for beetle larvae, bird nesting sites, and bat roosts. Despite its ecological value, deadwood faces threats from human activities aimed at keeping forests tidy and safe. To protect deadwood, it's important to manage dying trees carefully, sometimes leaving them in place to benefit the ecosystem. Techniques like veteranisation can also help younger trees develop the valuable habitats typically found in ancient trees.

Palestine regrows, Palestine will never die. There is hope in the very soil of Palestine. Don't lose yours. "Finally.. a green area!!" from Bisan, 03/Apr/2024:

I am stupidly giggling rn and I need to inflict this psychic damage on everyone else

It's like bird feeders. It's okay to use bird feeders, but they need to be sterilized regularly, and ultimately its just better to plant things that birds like.
