The Trees

Join Maddie on an adventure around the world of trees to see how we can help look after them and our planet. Discover how trees grow, how we can tell the age of trees and how the roots, leaves and bark work. Maddie shows how trees are home to lots of other plants, animals, birds and insects who live on and amongst them and have an important role in our ecosystem. We discover how a tree’s leaves make energy using sunlight, so they can keep growing. We learn that a tree is alive - it drinks and breathes and grows just like we do! And we find out about deciduous trees that lose their leaves in winter and evergreens that keep their leaves all year round.
