I grew up surrounded by the Nordic forest, and the plants, fungi and insects I saw fascinated me as I wondered through the woods. As I grew older I started illustrating the wildlife I saw, and an idea took form. I wanted to make educational posters.

THE OLD BROADLEAVED WOODLAND
This woodland is characterised by it's trees and it's leaves, the hazel and its nutritious nuts, the majestic oak and beeches that form a cathedral-like roof with their upwards spreading branches.

The Old Broadleaved Woodland - Biome
Deciduous woodlands contain trees with broad leaves such as oak, beech and elm. They occur in places with high rainfall, warm summers and cooler winters and lose their leaves in winter.
The leaf-littered woodland floor is home for to a diverse ground flora; a buffet for herbivores and fungi that lives off plant matter. -
The Old Broadleaved Woodland - Location
Temperate deciduous woodlands are common in the mid-latitudes. Deciduous woodlands contain trees with broad leaves such as oak, beech and elm. They occur in places with high rainfall, warm summers and cooler winters and lose their leaves in winter.

THE ANCIENT BOREAL FOREST
The Boreal Forest -or Taiga- is an important carbon sink, which means they absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases, making them important for our climate.
-
The Ancient Boreal Forest - Biome
Boreal forests are woodlands full of life adapted to withstand frigid temperatures year-round, swell as animals that migrate long distances every winter. The forests grow in a subarctic climate with very large temperature range between seasons, resulting in a number of species specifically adapted for survival in harsh taiga winters.

The Ancient Boreal Forest - Location
Boreal forests cover vast expanses in Canada, Alaska, Fennoscandia (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Sapmi and Karelia), Northern Japan, and Russia.
