| In site one the sugar maple
is the most important tree. The sugar maple is natural to the area where
Northumberland Forest is located and is also one of the most common trees
found in Canada. All of the trees found in site one are common trees found
in Canada and grew naturally, none of the trees found in site one were
planted opposed to site two. The trees found in site one provide foliage
and a habitat for a variety of different animals.
In site two the red pine is the most important tree. The trees found in this site were replanted and maintained so that when they mature they can be clear cut and used for wood products. The trees are planted in straight lines which is so that they have plenty of room to grow. Pine needles from the trees cover the ground which prevents other trees from taking root. |
