WILD LIFE OF THE FOREST The forests of our country are the home and breeding grounds of hundreds of millions of birds and game animals, which the forests provide with food and shelter.

If we had no forests, many of these birds and animals would soon disappear.

The acorns and other nuts that the squirrels live upon are examples of the food that the forest provides for its residents.
In the clear, cold streams of the forests there are many different kinds of fish.

If the forests were destroyed by cutting or fire many of the brooks and rivers would either dry up or the water would become so low that thousands of fish would die.
The most abundant game animals of forest regions are deer, elk, antelope and moose.

Partridge, grouse, quail, wild turkeys and other game birds are plentiful in some regions.
