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.

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.
