A Cavity Tree is a tree that has natural openings or hollows in its trunk or branches. These cavities can form due to decay, injury, or the activities of insects and fungi. Cavity trees provide essential habitats for various wildlife, including birds, bats, and small mammals, which use these spaces for nesting and shelter. Cavity trees are important for forest ecosystems as they contribute to biodiversity. The presence of these trees can enhance the habitat quality for species like woodpeckers and owls, which rely on cavities for nesting. Additionally, they play a role in nutrient cycling as they decompose over time, enriching the soil.
