Forest Facts

The northernmost and coldest forest zone in the Northern Hemisphere is the boreal forest, forming a continuous belt 1000 km in north-south width across North America, Europe and Asia. It is the most extensive vegetation zone in Canada and covers significant areas of every province and territory.

The forest and woodlands of Canada are usually dominated by needle-leaf evergreen trees, including black and white spruce, jack and lodgepole pine, and balsam fir, by needle-leaf deciduous American larch, or by small-leaf deciduous trees, including paper birch, trembling aspen and balsampoplar.
