A forest is a magical place filled with tall trees, soft moss, and the sounds of nature all around. When you step into a forest, you might hear birds singing, leaves rustling, or a squirrel hopping through the branches. Sunlight peeks through the treetops, making patterns on the ground as you walk. The air smells fresh and earthy, and every corner feels like it holds a little secret waiting to be discovered.
Forests are home to many amazing animals and plants. Deer wander quietly between the trees, owls rest high on branches, and tiny insects live under logs and rocks. Bright green ferns, colorful flowers, and towering pines all grow together to make the forest alive and full of energy. A forest screener lets kids explore this beautiful world and learn how important forests are for animals, people, and the Earth.
