Coniferous Forest


The Coniferous Forest is a generally frigid forest area with a myriad of animal species and an abundance of plant life ranging from mushrooms to its ever useful evergreen trees. These evergreen trees along with other pine shaped trees are long and narrow, covering many mountains as well. Evergreens being so prominent in the area do certainly hold importance to men today. From usage regarding Christmas holiday to using coniferous oil produce as cleaning supplies. The Coniferous Forest and its trees are certainly a benefit to society and should definitely be preserved.
