Kitsap Audubon Monthly Virtual Program - January 2023: The Ecology of Dead Wood -Ken Bevis with DNR

What happens to trees after they die, and how does that play into the way forests work? And who lives in those dead stems? I will talk about primary cavity excavators and other denizens of this important habitat and discuss human management of dead wood. Ken Bevis is the Stewardship Biologist for the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Service Forestry program. His career in forestry and wildlife spans 36 years, working for the U. S. Forest Service, the Yakama Indian Nation, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (15 years) and now, DNR.
