In many hilly areas of Scotland there once were large forest. Over the years the forests became smaller. People cut down the trees to use the wood for heating or building. They used the land for farming. After a while the land was not good for farming. It became rocky because the earth was washed away by the rain. There were no trees to hold the earth in place. Now the Scottish government is planting new trees. These new forests look nice and green. They will also help improve the earth for the future.
Large forests are important to us in many ways. They give us woods for building and heating. They are a home for many kinds of plants and animals. And for many city people, forests are a place to go vacation. People can learn about nature there. They can breathe fresh air and sleep in quite place. But there is one more reason why forests are important for everyone . The leaves on the trees in a forest help clean the air. Dirty air is a problem in many parts of the world. Without forest, this problem might be much worse. With all the forest has given to us, it is now to save the forest.
