How do gray squirrels change the forest to meet their needs?
Kindergartners discover how gray squirrels change the forest to meet their needs — burying acorns, building nests, and stripping bark — in this Life Science Ecosystems worksheet. Teachers and parents can use it to open a discussion about how animals shape their environment, connecting to concepts of habitat and adaptation. The squirrel story makes abstract ecology ideas vivid and accessible to young learners.
