  • White Pine (Pinus strobus): - Description: Eastern White Pine is known for its long, soft needles and tall, straight trunk. It is native to eastern North America. - Uses: It is highly valued for its wood, which is used in construction, cabinetry, and furniture. It is also a popular ornamental tree. - Habitat: Thrives in a variety of soil types but prefers well-drained, sandy soils. It is often found in mixed and coniferous forests.
  • Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana): - Description: Jack Pine is a hardy, medium-sized tree with a more irregular shape compared to Red and White Pines. It is native to Canada and the northern United States. - Uses: Its wood is used for pulpwood, and it is also important for wildlife habitat, particularly for the Kirtland's warbler, which nests in young Jack Pine stands. - Habitat: It is well adapted to poor, sandy soils and is often found in areas with a history of fire, as it requires fire to open its cones and release seeds.
