Living stumps - from Mount Douglas Park Files

Throughout forests there are many stumps left behind from trees that fell long ago. Over time, most will rot, but others heal and eventually show no sign of injury; these are living stumps. It’s easy to walk right past them without noticing, but once you’re aware of their existence, you’ll realize living stumps are everywhere! Beneath your feet lies the answer to why some stumps can continue living on long after the tree has fallen, sometimes hundreds of years.
