💚 Not the end. When an old tree dies, it brings a plethora of new life.
Especially so with oaks, which support 1000s of species during their lifetime, and this continues into their death time, as a transforming ecosystem of important decomposers move in, thriving in the throes of death.

The Major Oak has stood at the heart of Sherwood Forest for over a thousand years.
This spring, it failed to come into leaf and experts now believe it has died.
But its story isn’t over.
Its ancient trunk & branches will continue to support life for years to come: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...
