STRASSER Junior - The native forest

Interesting facts about our native forests and their inhabitants

The local forest is a fascinating place full of life and secrets. It is home to an incredible variety of plants and animals, all interconnected and forming a complex ecosystem.

From majestic trees such as oaks and beeches, which form the canopy of the forest, to the tiny fungi and microorganisms in the soil, each inhabitant plays an important role. Squirrels scurry through the branches, deer graze in the undergrowth and woodpeckers hammer on the tree trunks. At night, owls silently hunt through the darkness, while foxes hunt mice.

The forest offers its inhabitants protection, food and a habitat. It is a place of peace and relaxation, but also a place of constant change. The seasons shape life in the forest: in spring, nature awakens to new life; in summer, the air is filled with the buzzing and humming of insects; in fall, the leaves turn a colorful array of shades; and in winter, the forest rests under a blanket of snow.

But the local forest is not only an important habitat for animals and plants, but also for us humans. It provides us with wood, cleans the air and water, and protects us from natural hazards. It is also a place of recreation and inspiration.

To preserve the beauty and diversity of the local forest, it is important that we protect it and use it sustainably. Only in this way can future generations also experience the wonders of the forest.
