Turning Trees Into Habitat

They're pretty and they provide shade, but trees mean more than that to non-human species. 

The trees are homes for many animals, and arborists like Brian French encourage people to maintain trees for habitat. 

They don't even have to be living trees to qualify as habitat trees.  Brian French stops by the Exchange to talk about the steps to let trees be good places to live.
