Trees

The mid-Atlantic region of the United States is home to a diverse array of trees, including deciduous species such as oaks, maples, and birch, as well  as evergreens like pines and spruces. These trees provide  important ecosystem services  such as oxygen production,  carbon sequestration, and habitat for wildlife.

Additionally, many of the region’s trees are highly valued for their economic and cultural significance, with the lumber and paper industries relying heavily on species such as black cherry, yellow poplar, and red oak. Overall, the trees of the mid-Atlantic region are a vital and valuable part of the area’s natural and cultural  heritage.
