Ich bin die grüne Decke des Waldes
Stolberg
I am a leaf - pale green in spring, dark in summer and colorful in autumn.
High up in the treetops, I form the green blanket of the forest with many other leaves. Without us, there would be no shade, no oxygen and no life in the forest. This is because we use sunlight to produce food for the trees and oxygen - this is called photosynthesis.
When we fall to the ground in autumn, we are decomposed by small animals and fungi and become part of the earth. So the cycle starts all over again. We leaves may be small, but they are irreplaceable for the forest.
Become a leaf explorer: collect three different leaves and compare their shapes and colors. Can you discover which tree they come from?
