What is a forest?
A forest is an area of land covered by trees and
other plants and flowers. Forests grow in
different places all over the world and
each one has lots of different types of
wildlife living within it. Forests help
our planet in many different ways.

Plant life
Thousands of different
types of plant grow in
forests, from colorful
orchids to large bushes.
Two-thirds of the world’s
plant life grows in
tropical rain forests.
Trees
Monterey Trees like to soak up the
cypress sunlight. In forests, trees
grow tall to compete with
their neighbors for space.
Their leaves protect the rest
of the forest from the
