Beech and Birch are two types of TREES that are commonly found in woodlands and forests. Beech and Birch are both deciduous TREES, meaning they lose their leaves in the fall and grow new ones in the spring. They are also both hardwoods, meaning their WOOD is dense and strong. Beech and Birch are often used for furniture, flooring, and other woodworking projects. The term 'WOODS' is often used to refer to a large area of land covered with TREES, such as a forest or woodland.
