They feed and shelter wildlife, act as stepping stones to connect landscapes, boost soil carbon and microbial communities, and hold deep cultural meaning for First Nations peoples as well as non-Indigenous Australians. Sadly, these trees are threatened and disappearing rapidly, and too few young trees are replacing them. Even dead trees are valuable for wildlife and should be retained where safe to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaddock Trees Under Threat\u003c\/em\u003e explores the importance of these trees and the conservation measures required to save them.
