Kelly and all--

I'm not aware of any programs that are creating snags
in Washington, but Seattle Audubon just "created" one
out of a diseased Douglas fir in front of their
building at 8050 35th NE in Seattle.

An arborist by the name of Scott Baker of Tree
Solutions, Inc., did the work with the help of some
other folks. He was also responsible for saving the big
tree near the new symphony hall.

He did a great job with our snag-- bat slits, nesting
cavities, etc., and he cut the top to look as if it had
broken off in a heavy wind. We hope to educate the
Wedgwood neighborhood to save some of these old trees,
because there are so many old Doug firs in the area,
and the sound of chain saws never ceases.
