            1. Canopy Layer: 200ft. This is the primary layer of the forest and forms a roof over the two remaining layers. Most canopy trees have smooth, oval leaves that come to a point.
              1. Understory Layer: 12ft. Little sunshine reaches this area so the plants have to grow larger leaves to reach the sunlight.
