When there are trees around, there is also wildlife. After all, trees are their home and shelter that they rely on for food and safety. A number of small creatures such as squirrels and birds commonly live in trees due to this. Trees existing also provides the correct environment for other plants to flourish.

Did you know that there are different parts of a tree that attracts wildlife to it? For instance the bark, fruits, flowers and the buds. The fungus and bacteria within the tree can also provide a home for some birds, due to the decay creating easier nesting. Fertility within the soil can also increase.

It’s not just land animals that rely on trees, as they are also beneficial for aquatic wildlife. Trees give shading, helps to lower the temperature of water and air and gives homes and food to water species. This includes fish, turtles and animals that rely on it like beavers and otters.
