and a great animal life. Some of the trees you can find are oak, pine, birch and spruce. These are the most usual trees.

Some of these trees covers ground so much that the sun can’t reach it, that’s why it is pretty dark some places in the woods. So the light will be able to reach the ground the forest-owners cut down the trees and plants new trees so the forest won’t die out.

Bugs like to be in a dark and moist places were the sun can’t reach the ground. But squirrels are quite opposite; they like to climb on the top of the trees. Other animals that you can meet in our woods are elk, hare, roe deer, fox etc.

Summer: The trees are getting green leaves. Almost all the flowers are finished blooming. And the animals are already out eating and playing in the woods.

 

Autumn: In this time of the year the leaves change colour from green to yellow, red and brown. And the leaves are in the end falling of the trees. The autumn colour may fascinate you. Many animals are collecting food preparing for the winters cold night.

 

Winter: It is very cold in this time of the year, which is the reason that many birds are flying to the south countries. The forest is usually covered with snow.
