Gardeners generally like to control nature through raking, clearing and picking up fallen branches. At Bushcare, on the other hand, we leave dead trees, logs and dropped branches in place unless they are creating a hazard. Deadwood, either standing or fallen, provides shelter for birds and other wildlife.

Besides being a beautiful tree, the Bribie Island Pine has many other virtues as explained in this short article from Bushcare, written by Peter Wear.
