While walking out of the Student Center on St. Lawrence University Campus, I noticed the size of this one tree. I had not paid attention to the location of this tree before - it is very close to the entrance of the Student Center and students walk into its branches when they bough weighed down by snow. St. Lawrence University's habitat is rural and lightly wooded with both coniferous and deciduous trees. The University is unique for its large variety of tree species its relatively small campus. Recently, an arboretum tour has been created and is available for people to see, designed by Karl McKnight. One of the many tree species on campus is a Balsam Fir, which is depicted here. The Balsam Fir can be found in North America, in the northeaster part of the country, and also in Canada. These coniferous trees grow typically 14-20 meters high.
