Chapter 2  Communities and Geography

Every Community has landforms and bodies of water.  The land and the water provide food jobs, and fun.  People use the land for farming and hiking.  The water can be used for fishing or swimming.  People work together to protect their environment so they can continue to enjoy where they live.
