Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis)

In this video, part of the Tree Talks with Theo Hoss series created with support from the North Cascades Institute, we delve into the wonders of the Whitebark Pine tree, an extremely important food source in Alpine ecosystems. In addition to identification tips and fun facts about the whitebark pine, Mountain School Instructor Theodore Hoss will dive into the natural history of this tree as a keystone species (a living being which supports the entire rest of its ecosystem). This three part story will also cover the tragic loss of habitat that this tree has faced in the last century, and spread some hope that it may return as glorious as ever in the future.
