Nature Walk: Tamaracks

“Coniferous trees, such as spruces, pines and firs, are called evergreens since they have green leaves (or needles) all year. Tamaracks are coniferous trees found in northern forests; however, they are also deciduous and lose their needles each fall. New needles produced each spring are about 1 inch long, soft and in whorls of 10-20.” – Carl Kurtz
