New Forest

Okay, imagine a big area of land with lots of trees, plants, animals and insects. This is called the forest.

Now, sometimes people need to use the forest for things like building houses or cutting down trees for wood. So, to make sure that the forest stays healthy and the animals have a good home, some areas of the forest are protected.

A new forest is when people create a new protected area of land and plant lots of new trees in it. This can help the environment because the new trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen, which is good for us and the planet.

In a new forest, animals can live and grow, and once the trees grow big and strong, they can also provide homes for birds, insects, and other creatures. It's like creating a home for nature to live in and be protected.

So a new forest is a special place where people make sure the trees and animals are safe and happy, and they plant new trees to help the environment.
