One picture of land with trees and a river changes one step at a time: people cut down trees to make a farm, a town with homes and a road, and a park with a slide and a swing, until only one tree is left. Then the community chooses to protect the land by planting new trees and picking up litter to keep the river clean, ending on the recap that people change the land and can protect it.
