The Lodgepole Pine is a coniferous tree native to western North America. It typically grows in mountainous regions and can reach heights of 20 to 30 meters. The tree is known for its tall, straight trunk and slender shape, making it a popular choice for timber and construction. Its needles are long and slender, usually grouped in pairs. This species thrives in various soil types and is often found in areas affected by wildfires, as it can regenerate quickly after such events. The Lodgepole Pine is also an important habitat for wildlife, providing food and shelter for various species, including birds and small mammals.
