Tree ID In Our Forest Community Name: __________________ Group: __________________ Tree ID In Our Forest Community Our forest community is composed of a variety of plants and animals living Interdependently in a diverse ecosystem. Washington has a wide variety of plants and trees. Below are listed four major trees found in Western Washington. Locate two trees outdoors and draw or record your observation on the chart below. . - Tree Name Bark Leaf/Needle Cone/Fruit Douglas Fir Big Leaf Maple Cedar Hemlock 11/28/2018 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

Douglas Fir Big Leaf Maple Look for: Single yellow-green needles, about 1 inch long that encircle the stem and twist at the base with two white bands underneath. Cones up to 4 inches long, with pitchfork-shaped bracts protecting the seeds. Bark deeply furrowed on mature trees. Top is erect. TreePlantFlowerId.com Find it: All four regions; most common in Coastal and Lowland Used for: Most important lumber tree in the U.S. Also used for plywood, Christmas trees, paper and paper products. Wikipedia User: MPF Growth requirements: This maple grows in lower elevations in western washington. It prefers nutrient-rich, moist, (but not thoroughly wet) soil and mild temperatures. Big Leaf Maple Characteristics and uses: The big leaf maple deserves the name! Its leaves can be 12 inches in diameter - larger than any other maple. It can grow to 100 feet. Each fall it sends “helicopter” seeds (technically called samaras) to the ground. These seeds, which look like they have propeller blades attached, twirl as they fall to the ground. With the big leaf maple's spreading branches and huge leaves, it’s no wonder it is used as a shade tree. The wood of this maple is used in furniture and for firewood. stevenkharper.com/maple.html Public Domain 11/28/2018 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

Public Domain Klallam Indians (the Hicks family) pose with canoe near Chimacum Creek, Washington, ca. 1914 Western Hemlock (Washington State Tree) Look for: Short, flat needles with rounded tips and two white lines on the underside.
