About 3 years ago, a large BC fir had to be cut down in a lot opposite our home. When I queried as to why the tree was left with about a 20ft stump, the arborist advised that this cut will attract woodpeckers.

It was at this site 1000 years ago , 500years before C0lumbus and Cabot that explorers from Greenland & Iceland led by Leif Erickson founded the first European settlement.
