New Zealand Native Bush

By Corban , Thahaseen, Jessebella

We predict that if the sub canopy was taken away it will affect the

bush by there being less birds with homes . Also it will affect the bush

by there being less shade and it will have only little plants and

flaxes . There will still be homes for lizards and insects.

Sub canopy layer if it was taken away

If the sub canopy was taken away there would be less birds because there would be less berries to eat because the birds mostly eat berries.

less birds with homes. Also it will affect the bush by having

homes.
