Plants• Mostly conifers• Pine• Spruce• Fir• Don’t fall off• Survives in snow and cold• Deciduous Trees• Falls off• Changes color• Conifers needle life with pines the ground is shaded due
to trees• Limited sunlight

Plant adaptations• Conifers= summer• Mostly lives in winter• Deciduous=summer+warm areas• Dies in the cold• Conifers mostly forests• Small plants and grasses in meadows and clearings

though snow)oSquirrels and black bears (Hibernation:
survive through winter)oWolves and otters (guard hair to keep
away moisture) o Lynxes oBeavers (make dams) oMoose (grow fur to keep warm)oWolverines (strong jaws)
