One of the many hundreds, even thousands, of dead trees in this provincial park. The site is an alvar, and fire sometimes sweeps through, renewing the land. The most recent fire was about 12 years ago, and these skeletons form a large forest of dead trees, amidst which much new growth is occurring. The trees (snags), provide home for so many nesting birds, including bluebirds, tree swallows, three species of woodpeckers, chickadees, etc.
