    Habitat by Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy from the GigaPan Nine Mile Run and Summerset by Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy

    During the ecosystem restoration, standing snags (dead trees) were planted throughout Nine Mile Run to provide habitat to creatures that feed on insects that live in decomposing wood. Not sure if this one was planted here or if it just occurred naturally.
