Woodland habitat

A habitat is where an organism (a plant or animal) lives.
The habitat provides food and shelter for the organisms living there.
Organisms must be adapted (designed) to survive in their habitat.

A woodland is a large habitat made of lots of trees and bushes.

Within the woodland are smaller mini habitats, like one tree or a bush.

There are even smaller micro habitats - a log, or under a stone.

At Woodgate Valley there are old woods, dominated by oak trees.

There are also old and newly planted hedgerows. These are lines of trees and bushes by the side of a path or field.

There are some areas which have recently been planted with smaller, young trees. These are called tree plantations.
