Create your own cozy forest!

Experience the full lifecycle of trees: seed, sapling, adult tree, dead tree and fallen trunk. Each step creates a different habitat for other plants and animals.

Each animal has specific habitat needs you have to fullfill before adding them. Squirrels need trees, butterflies need flowers etc.

Clicking on animals trigger different behaviors that influence the forest ecosystem: Moose poop, fertilizing the soil. Voles eat tree roots, damaging the tree. Foxes hunt other animals.

Create forests in diverse terrains including hills, lakes, mountains, fjords and wetlands. Terraform the terrain if you want even more control.

Forest fires, storms and bark beetle swarms affect the forest in various ways. Can you use them to your advantage and create a thriving ecosystem?
