  1. Our Backyard Forest Ecosystem

  2. The sun gives plants their energy to grow and produce oxygen in a system called photosynthesis. It also provides sunlight so we can have daylight. Sun By Alex Wheeler

  3. Worms The worm creates nutrients for the plants to help it grow. It provides nutrients for the plant by eating. It also deposits pieces of the leaves into the ground then the leaves turn into dirt or nutrients. Also the worm provides food for birds. Austin Pierce Rein

  4. Log A log is very important to a forest ecosystem. It gives shelter to lots of small animals such as mice, foxes, toads, and frogs. It is a place for insects, such as ants, to lay their eggs. A log keeps salamanders moist. And all these creatures that live in the log provide food for other animals!

  5. Moss And Fungi Moss and fungi give shelter for small insects such as ants and mites and other small insects. Moss and fungi are both decomposers they break down dead plants and turn them into soil to grow more plants. Another decomposer is bacteria bacteria By:Emily Doucette

  6. S T R E A M By: Hannah Gohr The stream is a mini river. It provides shelter for animals and insects that live in the water. Many insects need water to lay eggs. When animals are running around all day they’re going to want a nice cold drink and the stream is where they can get their drinks.

  7. leaves by izzie Leaves are important. Leaves give oxygen for animals and people. Leaves are food for caterpillars and insects. Leaves break down and turn into soil so new plants can grow. 

  8. Hollow Tree The hollow tree provides shelter and/or a home for animals such as a chipmunk, squirrel or a raccoon. The tree give animals a Safe place to raise their young. by John Hardy

  9. Skunkweed By Josh Galvin  The skunkweed provides food for animals in the late winter. It’s the first green plant to come out in the winter. It smells bad when you step on it.

  10. BAC T E R I A We might be ugly but we are really useful. Bacteria is a decomposer. It breaks things down and at the same time it cleans the stream up.

  15. Michael Aucella Fungus breaks down dead things like animals, logs, and plants. It turns it to soil. It’s called a “decomposer”. Fungus is important to our ecosystem FUNGUS

  16. Wetland Grass! Wetland grass grows in the wetlands. It helps in a forest ecosystem by providing shelter for small aquatic organisms. It also helps get rid of bacteria and cleans the water as it filters through the grass.

  17. R O C K S The rocks are very important because the insects go under them for shelter. Some of these insects are antsand centipedes. Also, salamanders live under the rocks too.  By: Patrick Conroy

  19. Wetland The insects lay their eggs in the wetland. The insects provide food for animals in the forest. Such as frogs, toads, birds salamanders, opossums, rabbits, chipmunks, and moles. Ryan Assarian

  20. Acorns This is a picture of acorns The acorn provides food for the squirrel and chipmunk. The acorn has seeds inside and the squirrels help to spread the seeds by burying them for the winter. If they don’t find the acorn a new oak tree will grow. by Ryan Richardson
