Type: Plant
Habitat Description: Snowy Woodland

Natural History Info: This White Pine, although it bears many wounds from woodpeckers, is still alive and thriving. Because the bark was not stripped in an entire circle anywhere on the tree, the xylem and phloem transport layers have not been entirely disconnected from the roots, thus allowing for the tree to survive despite its scars.

What drew my attention: A tree that looks like swiss cheese is hard to ignore!! Especially when it’s alive still!
