FOREST VALUES >> WILDLIFE HABITAT
Wildlife and forests depend on each other. Animals pollinate plants, spread seeds and control insects, while the forest provides the food, water, cover and space they need. Because different species need different conditions, managing for a variety of forest ages and structures supports the widest range of wildlife.
