Discover the iconic trees that make Washington the Evergreen State! From towering Douglas-firs to medicinally important yews, this region is home to an extraordinary diversity of confiers that keep their needles year-round. We'll practice identifying common evergreen species found across the Pacific Northwest, explore their unique life histories, and uncover the vital ecological roles and cultural connections these trees hold throughout the region.
