Trees support living things

Trees are an important part of an ecosystem. Their leaves make food using sunlight, and trees take in a gas that people and many animals breathe out, then release oxygen. Trees also provide food and shelter. In Australia, eucalyptus trees can support animals such as koalas, possums, birds and insects. First Nations Australians have cared for Country, including trees and other living things, for thousands of years.
