A snag is a dead tree. Snags are used by birds for a variety of different important reasons, including feeding, nesting, and roosting. As havens for many types of wildlife, snags should be left standing for nature to use if they pose no danger to humans or human structures and no aesthetic conflict.

Snags are standing dead and decaying trees. Many species use cavities in snags for nesting, and they often provide an excellent forage base for insectivores.

A standing dead tree trunk and any attached branches.
A standing dead tree or stump that provides habitat for a broad range of wildlife, from beetle larvae (and the birds that feed upon them) to dens for raccoons. Or, a tree or branch embedded in a river or lake.
A standing dead tree used by birds and animals for nesting, roosting, perching, courting and food gathering.

A snag is a dead tree, commonly a tall, limbless tree left after a logging operation. Though of little or no commercial value, they can be very valuable wildlife resources.
A standing dead tree, or portion of a tree from which most of the foliage and limbs have died. These trees are often left standing after a logging operation to provide habitat for certain species of wildlife.

The bare trunk of a dead tree, occasionally with a few branches or branch stubs. Often seen standing in the aftermath of a fire or in shallow waters with one end stuck into the muddy bottom and the other at or near the surface where it becomes a potential navigation hazard for the unwary.
In forest ecology, a snag refers to a standing, partly or completely dead tree, often missing a top or most of the smaller branches. Snags provide critical habitat for many species, e.g., woodpeckers that feed on insects dwelling in decomposing wood. Snag persistence depends on two factors, the size of the stem, and the durability of the wood of the species concerned.
