In some areas they can even create weather. They are complex and abundant.They are endangered. We couldn't live without trees....Trees are a part of our life.

According to Natasha drawings children have made the story: Some birdies were flying around for a while until they got tired. They could not find a single tree to land on and take a rest. Landing on the ground was not an option because of the cats lurking around. However, they wanted to stay in that area, so one of the birds decided to hide a seed in the ground. The sun was shining bright and the rain watered well, a little stem showed up and quickly became a big tree. Birds were glad to have a place to nest.

They invited even more birds and all together they started throwing new seeds to the ground. After a while, many more tress grew up and the place became a forest.

We have created a picture story of the trees (forest).

Once upon a time, little brother and little sister went to the forest. It was a beautiful and sunny day. 

Children were walking around, listening to the bird songs. After a while they got bored and decided to make a fire. They wanted the fire to last long enough, so they collected a big pile of tree branches.

Unfortunately, the fire was so big that some moss and shrubbery also began to burn. The birds and other forest animals got frightened and ran straight to the Owl to ask for advice. The Owl called every bird in the forest and asked them to start extinguishing the fire. Children also helped.

The fire was quickly put under control and the forest was saved. It was a terrifying experience for the children, so they decided to never light a fire in the forest again and warn others about the danger.
