A special value of the bark on dead white pines is that when
it begins to separate from the trunk it creates a space
that's an ideal place for bats to give birth and raise their
young. The dark bark on a trunk that towers above the other
trees absorbs sunlight and becomes warm. In winter, birds
take advantage of spaces under the bark for sleeping. dead
white pines provide homes and food for as many animals and
birds as do live ones.
