Habitat Description: Fir and spruce forest near the banks of the Raquette River,

Natural History Info: Spruce is a genus of coniferous tree that can be found in northern temperate and sub-artic climates. On average they grow to be 60-100 feet tall depending on its location and species. Spruce trees unlike firs have sharp ridged needles that are attached individually to the branch.

I like this photo because of how the snowy spruce trees frame the river.
