Mondays with Martha #184 - The Importance of Coarse Woody Debris

After some very windy weather and some snags and limbs falling this weekend, I decided to discuss the importance of coarse woody debris (CWD) in our landscape ecosystems. Learn what it is, why it's important, how it is generated, and what you can do to provide more in your own landscapes.
