- Habitat and Distribution: White Cedar trees are native to the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. In Michigan, they are commonly found in wetland areas, along riverbanks, and in cool, moist forests. They thrive in calcareous soils and are often found in limestone-rich areas.
- Physical Characteristics: These trees are evergreen conifers that can grow up to 50 feet tall, although they are often smaller in Michigan due to environmental conditions. They have a conical shape with dense, flat sprays of scale-like leaves. The bark is thin and fibrous, often peeling in narrow strips.
- Ecological Importance: White Cedar trees provide important habitat and food for wildlife. Their dense foliage offers shelter for birds and small mammals, while the seeds and foliage are consumed by various species, including deer. The trees also play a role in stabilizing soil and preventing erosion in wetland areas.
