Trees provide a number of important roles in our lives. Trees provide shade during sunny days, a place for kids to climb (and hopefully not fall off of), provide a source of natural resources in the form of wood and paper and also provides us with natural beauty that can’t be re-created. While trees are similar in the shape, all trees are not the same. Trees come in many different shapes, sizes, types of leaves and more variations. Also, depending upon where you are located, the types of trees that grow there can change dramatically.

To assist you in identifying the various types of trees that exist, we have put together the following resources. We hope this guide is helpful in determining the type of trees you find:
