Log
A piece of a tree trunk or branch that was once part of a living tree.
How to identify: Look for a piece of wood on the ground, often with bark still attached and showing signs of decay.
💡 Fun Facts
- A log was once alive, but now that it's dead, it provides a vital habitat and food source for fungi, insects, and other minibeasts.
- The rings you can see on the end of a log show how many years the tree was alive.
- As a log rots down, it slowly releases its stored nutrients back into the soil for other plants to use.
