Actually in a forest environment I try to leave standing dead trees alone for that reason - the amount of woodpecker activity evident on them shows the amount of insect life present.
Where we do have to take standing deadwood down I am afraid it is at ground level - normally because they are in the way of a machine - and the felled timber is crosscut to approx 1m lenghts and thrown into a random logpile.
