- The Woodlands or Woods are the home to a tremendous amount of wildlife and plantlife, and often are easy for us to explore and examine.
- Although not as dense as real forests or jungle environments, they are an essential part of the ecosystem in many countries around the world.
- Draw the woodlands closest to your home or woodlands you have visited.
- Plan a trip to some woodlands near your home and see what animals, trees and plants you can find.
- Woodlands usually have some light coming through the tree canopy that can reach the floor, whereas forests are more likely to have no light reaching the floor.
- In the United Kingdom, tree-covered areas that existed since the 1600s are also called woodlands.
- Exploring woodlands helps us learn so much about creation, and building dens or doing a scavenger hunt can make it even more interesting.
