We may live in the Mirror Universe, but I think we ended up with the better version of Wesley Crusher.

That’s just not true:

In temperate forests, snags provide critical habitat for more than 100 species of bird and mammal, and snags are often called ‘wildlife trees’ by foresters. Dead, decaying wood supports a rich community of decomposers like bacteria and fungi, insects, and other invertebrates.

In the old days, leaving dead trees laying around your park land was viewed as being untidy. These days, they call it “conserving for invertebrates”. :smiley:
