I’m trying to find information/ideas on creating wildlife habitat in standing dead/ring barked trees. I’ve found odd bits on coronet cuts and drilling holes etc etc but can only seem to find snippets of information. I’ve also had a quick look around Arbtalk but as I’m not even sure of the correct term for doing this to trees I’m struggling.

 

Any pointers?

 

Thanks in advance.

Some good stuff in there, thanks. But not enough on creating holes/cavities etc. Anyone else got any suggestions?

Also noticed in one reply about not ring-barking as it’s better to let the stump rot internally (for biodiversity value). Can anyone expand on this?

Worked on various "eco" jobs. Mainly sycamore felling with stems bored and slashed with saws.
Different angles and heights allow different environments for insects etc.
Leaving bark on allows another habitat.
Piling cordwood with a few shovels of soil thrown in and some turf on top is also good for biodiversity.
