Description
Years after a great oak tree tumbled to the ground, a whole community of animals made it their home. Then salamanders, daddy longlegs, and mites prowled here and there, while chipmunks and roly-polies dashed everywhere. Field notes and cool activities may help answer the question: Is the old tree alive? Or is it now dead?
Explores the microhabitat of a dead tree, examines the animals that use it as food and shelter, and offers a field notes section to fill in the knowledge gaps.
