Los Pinares woodland project

Watch the videos on Woodlands in “ Fresh as a Daisy” and think about these questions:

Why are woodlands important? Because the trees produce the oxygen that we need to breathe.

What do you expect to find there? I expect to find many rocks and a lot of trees.

What are their main threats? The main threats are grazing, clearance, neglect, rubbish tipping and invasion by non-native species.
