Native Tree Species

Native tree species are trees that naturally grow in a specific region or ecosystem without human introduction. They have evolved alongside local plants, animals, and climate, making them well-adapted to the environment. As a result, native trees support biodiversity, improve soil health, and require less maintenance compared to non-native species. Examples include oak, maple, and pine trees in North America. Planting native species helps preserve natural habitats, sustain wildlife, and maintain ecological balance. They are an essential part of a region's natural landscape and contribute to its overall health and resilience.
