International Day of Forests is a day to celebrate and appreciate forests around the world. On this day people recognize the importance of trees and forests for providing us with oxygen, food, and shelter. It's also a good time to learn about the different kinds of forests, the animals and plants that live in them, and the people who depend on forests to make a living.We can all do our part in protecting forests by planting trees, reducing our use of paper, and shopping for products made from sustainably-grown forests.
