Not in my area they aren’t. I just talked to an arborist about removing a tree on my lot and they suggested de-limbing it and leaving a standing snag for the ecological benefit, and the wooded parks here have loads of deadfall (which is great for the ferns and huckleberries, they love a nurse log)
It’s still not a good idea to leave a large dead tree standing by the street.
A lot of life depends on rotting trees though. Yet we’re removing them everywhere, even in the forests.
