The
Eastern Woodlands is a community of broadleaf trees,
shrubs, wildflowers, and animals that respond to the
four-season cycle of the moderate climate found in the
eastern woodlands. Fields now break up the once endless
forest. Man-made changes have eliminated some animals
of the deep woods, but have invited newcomers who live
in fields and the forest edge. In spite of the changed
environment, some animals, like the white-tailed deer
and the raccoon, are more plentiful today than ever before.
