Description

Dead Wood explores the life and afterlife of three trees growing along a river: a spruce in the Colorado Rockies, a western red cedar in Washington, and a balsam poplar in Canada. Each tree is enmeshed in a biological community during its lifetime and continues to support other forms of life after death as the fallen tree enters a floodplain, a beach, or the open ocean.
