Provides habitat irds, amphibians, bees, bats, and small mammals as it decomposes in-place. How the habitats are created Step one Step two Step three Photo example Coronet cut notes: A coronet cut is a technique for producing a natural fracture effect in cut stub ends: 1. Cut at an angle to height as individually confi rmed in the fi eld by restoration consultant; 2. After slicing, cut down into the tree to create crevices at the top; and 3. Cut further by bouncing the chain saw on the top to create multiple incisions to encourage decay and colonization by insects and fungi. Chain saw / tool notes: 1. Use biodegradable bar and chain oil such as motion lotion or Stihl. (Brown, Timothy K Creating and Maintaining Wildlife, Insect, and Fish Habitat Structures in Dead Wood. U.S. Forest Service Gen.
