Tamarack Plugs

  • Habitat: Tamarack trees are commonly found in wetland areas, such as bogs and swamps, throughout Michigan. They thrive in cold, moist environments and are well-adapted to the state's climate.
  • Characteristics: Unlike most conifers, tamarack trees are deciduous, meaning they shed their needles in the fall. The needles turn a bright yellow before falling off, providing a striking display of color.
  • Ecological Importance: Tamarack trees play a crucial role in their ecosystems. They provide habitat and food for various wildlife species, including birds and mammals. Their presence in wetlands also contributes to water filtration and soil stabilization.
