2 Flora and Fauna The warm and wet climate of Great Britain is very good for plants. That` s why the country looks like a big beautiful garden. Centuries ago there were a lot of forests on the British Isles but now you can find big forests only in a few parts of the country-the north of Scotland and the south-east and south-west of England. The most common trees in England are oaks, elms and beeches while Scotland has a lot of pines, first and birches.
