What kind of trees grow in NH and Maine? I am in Oregon, our main tree “crop” is Douglas Fir trees. My county, in southern Oregon is the number one grower of Doug fir trees in the world. All we have to do is manage our forest better, by not treating trees like animals or humans.
I’m in the hills on the east side of the Willamette Valley, midway between Eugene and Salem. Trees grow around here whether you want them to or not. Mostly Douglas Fir, with a few pines.
There is a huge Weyerhauser tree farm just 1/2 a mile east. All Douglas Fir.
