Trees prevent floods and keep things clean!

Trees are important to the world in many ways, one of those is helping to keep the soil in place. When big storms or floods bring lots of water, trees and plants can help to reduce the impact that water has on the soil. The movement of soil by wind, water, or other forces is called erosion. To see erosion and the benefit of trees in action, check out this experiment and get an adult to help you out!
